Today’s word for Five Minute Friday is Rhythm.
Here are the rules:
1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community…
Now GO …
“I’ve got rhythm, I’ve got music.” “Listen to the rhythm of the pouring rain.”
These song lyrics are the first two things that came to mind for rhythm.
I do love music and especially those songs with great rhythm.
For example, I really like Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees. It is easy to dance to since it is in 4-4 time. You can dance the Electric Slide to this rhythm. This is one of my favorite dances!
I have the CD and now really want to listen to it. Time to dance!!
As far as the rhythm of the rain, there is something very calming and relaxing to listening to a calm and steady rain. As long as I am inside I enjoy it and sometimes feel like all my problems and cares are washing away.
There also is the rhythm of life. I have seen it and felt it by having a child grow inside me for 9 months, then be born, and see him grow to be 5 1/2 years old. What an amazing journey that has been. I have truly enjoyed and been awed by each and every step.
When I was pregnant, Ian loved to move around a lot and especially liked it when I walked. He has his own rhythm then and still does today.
“I’ve got rhythm” Yes I do.
Now STOP!!

What a fun post – love all of those songs and thinking of listening to some Bee Gee’s now or maybe the Judds…
Every time a prompt is given my first thought is a song or two. This time it was Rhythm of Love – Anita Baker and Get A Rhythm Johnny Cash 🙂
Thank you – you brought me a little smile and some joy this morning.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I usually think of songs first too! That is a great one by Anita Baker!!
Glad for smiles and joy! Thanks for reading and commenting! Patti
Visiting from FMF: I love the Electric Slide too!! Those song lyrics were ones that popped into my head as well :). Time to dance!! Have a great day 🙂
Hi Amy! Love that you thought of the same song! Dance, dance time. Hope you have a great day too! Patti
Dear Patti
When I saw today’s word, my first thought was about a song I cannot even remember the name of, “rhythm of the night”. Well, I remember the movie of John Travolta very well and you are right; that song has a great beat!
Much love XX

Mia, I love that you too thought of a song too. I remember a song with that title, maybe by DeBarge? I can’t remember for sure.
Thanks and love, Patti
i love this one! totally forgot about rhythms in songs too…
Thanks so much for your sweet comments. Rhythms come in many forms, don’t they?! Patti
Oh yes Rhythms come in so many forms…many many forms…from classical genre to the rock genre
I do like all of them, just depends on my mood!
