Is this “Aging with Grace” or looking like a fool?

My normal response to any Facebook posting that reads “you have to see this” is to delete it without looking at it.  I do the same when I get an envelope marked “open, urgent.” It goes in the trash instantly!

But something told me to open this email. It came from someone I trusted, so I clicked on the link.  It was a segment of the TV show “Britain’s Got Talent”.  79-year-old, great-grandmother, Paddy Jones and her 40 years younger Spanish dance partner came on stage. They started off slow and gentle moves and one of the judges hit the buzzer to “can” the act. But then something quite unexpected happened.  Paddy started dancing like a twenty-something. ­Her sequined dress shimmered with Tango-like moves. She was transformed from a 79-year-old into a ­nimble young woman she once was. It was almost too good to be true. My wife and I had tears in our eyes while we cheered her on. She never missed a step. She got thunderous applause afterwards.

Now I’ll ask you what you think about Paddy’s performance.  Do you worry about looking like a fool or do you dance like no one is watching?
