They have this delightful practice of, whenever anyone realizes that it has turned &#8220;12:34&#8221;, doing the &#8220;1-2-3-4 Dance&#8221;.  It consists of simply stopping whatever you&#8217;re doing, hopping to your feet (if necessary), and performing any combination that feels good of shaking your hips, bouncing up and down, and swinging your feet and\/or arms.  It lasts until, you guessed it, &#8220;12:35&#8221;.  The pure joy and infectious radiance of their countenances is manna from heaven.  As I remember that I&#8217;m in the car, I&#8217;m struck by how deeply spiritual this act is &#8211; talk about &#8220;living in the moment&#8221;.  For that minute, nothing exists but the dance and the happiness it brings.  Next time, I hope I have the courage to pull-over and dance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"1-2-3-4 Dance\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/?p=6\";\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I get into the car after a meeting and the clock says &#8220;12:34&#8221;, and I become acutely aware of how much I miss my girls (all three are in school now during the day).
