Blogging
When I started this blog in 2015, I knew little about blogging. I thought you just sit down at a computer and start writing. So I did.
Once I realized how much was involved, I did what I do when I need to know something. I searched for information and learned. And I am still learning.
Blogging is much like practicing medicine-there is always something new and different to learn. It is an enjoyable challenge and I have tried to improve this blog with each post I write.
The most important thing I have learned is a blog needs two things- a writer and a reader. Today I want to thank you, my readers, for making this possible.
Whether you have been with me from day 1, or this is your first time reading, I appreciate your interest and hope you come away blog informed and inspired .
Waltzing
As a thank you “gift”, I am sharing my favorite flashmob video. It is a “flashwaltz” which happened, where else? in a hospital (after all, this is a health blog).
Music students played The Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky at the Hadassah Hospital.
This is a Viennese waltz, with a meter of 6/8 timing rather than the 3/4 timing of a slow waltz; being so fast, it is more difficult and fewer people dance it.
Besides blogging, I ballroom dance, doing foxtrot, rumba, chacha, and waltz well. But I had not learned the Viennese Waltz. and didn’t think I could do it.
But my dance instructor prompted me to try, and with his patient instruction, I learned to dance Viennese waltz and love it.Just like I learned to blog.
There is something almost magical about twirling around the floor to beautiful classical music and now it’s one of my favorite dances.
The Waltz of the Flowers by the Boston Pops is available at Amazon (this blog earns a small commission if you purchase from this link)
