Dancing Queen...

Little O has become my very own dancing queen... She was turned on to the soundtrack from Mama Mia by one of her teachers at school and there has been no going back. I finally had to download the music to my Ipod so that I can play it immediately upon request and as often as possible. She loves it!

Who would have ever guessed that my 2000's girl would love music that was popular when her mama was a baby?! It is so amazing how all things cycle... music, clothes, the stock market (right?!). There is just no getting around it. What seems to be the newest cool thing, generally turns out to be a remake of sorts of something old.

So, perhaps this is a lesson in recycling... Is it possible to use the same philosophy when trying to recreate yourself? How do you start all over in a whole new life when so much of your life is wrapped up in the past? Do you just remake the old self? A hopefully better, smarter, more experienced version of the old you? I think the key might be to learn the lessons from past mistakes and use them to push forward, rather than letting them hold you back. But, let's face it, that is not always so easy to do. It sure does sound like the right idea...
