This Farmer Dancing In His Barn To Sia's 'Cheap Thrills' Is Exactly What You Need Right Now

January 16, 2017

Dancing is how 50-year-old Jay Lavery stays warm in the barn.

"I never know when I'm going to break out into a dance," he wrote on Facebook.

The New York farmer uploaded the video below to his personal Facebook page of him dancing to Sia's hit "Cheap Thrills" while going about his barn chores and tending to the goats he takes care of at his Permaculture Inn farm in Sharon Springs, New York.

"But what most people don't know is that 15 years ago I had a traumatic back injury that caused me to have several back surgeries including a discectomy and a spinal fusion and never ending back pain. Dancing along with yoga and meditation are my only alternatives to pain medication. So I hope this can inspire anyone to move in spite of pain and I hope this puts a smile on your face for the New Year."
