Then, when I came up running up to her and asked her to dance, she said that she just closed her eyes and put her head on my chest, because she wanted to imagine that she was dancing with her husband, as they had promised each other, sixty years before!
She then asked me where we got the music that we played and I explained that it was a long playing tape that simply had a random bunch of "Big Band" songs on it. She then told me that the song that was playing on the music system, when I ran to ask her to dance, was the very song that was playing when her husband and she were dancing sixty years ago, when he proposed to her. It became "their song"! WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

She then told me that what could have been the worse day of her life now was the BEST DAY OF HER LIFE. Because I had broken my "vow", had listened to the "Voice", I had allowed her to fulfill her and her late husband's sixty year dream!
How often to we hear the "voice" or have that unusual "urge" to call someone, or write them, or simply go out of our "comfort zone" to do something that we normally wouldn't do? How many chances have we had to, "make someone's day", or allow “something special” to happen? I have now learned to listen more often to that "Voice" and less to all of the other voices. The ones that tell me NOT to give in to these feelings because they are not socially, economically, politically correct, or simply don't fit “my” needs. My suggestion is for all of us to think less about ourselves and what people might think, and do more of what may help others.
Every once in a while…listen to that “Voice” and dance.
