Dancing days are over

Time to admit reality

People see me pause.
They see me wince.
I normally just move on like nothing happened.

Truth is, I can barely use my hands.
Knees barely carry me through the day.

Willpower is the only thing that keeps me going..

Dancing days are over.

Jon Roggie,
I like to think of you as a person with many experiences. I see by this expression that life is different for you now an I feel like it takes pure will to focus your life force. Your honest and forthright words are important because your have a way of sharing a part of what goes on for you to others. I like to understand others situation if I can. Thanks for this.

Your last lines are like little gems. You seem to handle the trials you have with dignity and an amazing resolve to live your life and keep a chin up. I admire you for that. I've gotta stop reading you for now. Will return. Thanks.

I really like this one a lot!!! This reminds me so much of how I feel sometimes with my autoimmune arthritis. I haven't really written about it yet or how it makes me feel. I fear it could be an emotional experience.
(note: one typo - "knees barely carry ME...)

Truth is power.

As a dancer I dread this day. But this was beautiful.
