One of the things that i love about the word rhythm is the way that it is spelled.  It was in my music class my freshman year in college (ironically, the first class in college that I flunked-lol, a story for another time) that I learned how to spell the word.  I like it because it spells just like it sounds and it used a “y” as the vowel which we is not so frequent in the English language.  Then there is the fact that it is six letters–two sets of three: One-two-three, one-two-three, like a waltz (yes, you are gaining insight into the mind of a dancer).  It flows off your tongue but most of all the word conveys the idea that there is a flow.  Sometimes life is not what we expect, it doesn’t spell out the way we think it will, it uses symbols we don’t normally use and it has a pace all its own.  When we surrender to how it is and look for the genius in it and what we can learn from it, we find that there is much more than what it seems and maybe just maybe our expectations can be exceeded. It doesn’t have to be a disappointment that things are what we expected, it can be an opportunity.  My prayer for us today is that we embrace the unexpected rhythms of life and see them in a new way.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
