A few days ago I was in the UK having dinner with one of my oldest friends… we have known each other since we were kids, and went through our teenage years together, but don’t see each other so much nowadays (me living in Prague and she in Bahrain hasn’t helped!). There was, of course, a good deal of reminiscing about old friends (boys in particular) and, even now, some revelations that we have never told each other before.
Since we grew up in the 80s in London, a great deal of our socializing involved disco dancing and glitter balls (so to speak) and my friend asked if I ever get a chance nowadays to simply get up and dance, as we used to. I responded that over the last few years, living in a town where we all know each other, I and my partner and friends have become way too serious and too ‘well known’ to ever let our hair down in public (or in private for that matter!) … although we have been known to strut our stuff at our annual Christmas party, or, occasionally, when we are in Spain, where no one cares who you are, we will ‘get up and boogie’.. .actually, there, we are often the youngest people on the dance floor, so that is very invigorating!!
Coming home and feeling rather nostalgic about our younger days, I remembered something I was sent recently … by an executive coach whose focus is always on remembering that every day is the first day of the rest of your life. So feel good about it.
Anyone that remembers the 80s, and that loves to dance (or sing) will like this and feel good for the rest of the weekend. If I could figure out how to add a link here, I would. But I can’t. So please go to YouTube, type in Stevie Wonder Carpool Karioke (James Corden) and watch the show.
Have a great weekend!
