January 30th, 2006Today’s mail brought this birthday card and some lovely collagé goodies from Joleen. Thank you sweetie, I can’t wait to use them. And thank you all for your kind words..
Recently I’ve been inspired by Penelope’s posts about balancing work and taking care of herself better. Especially the one about meditation. I have my version in ballet practice. Every week, three to five times, I go through the same series of movements in the same order. Plies, tendus, jetes, ronds… In four years the easiest movements have become the most difficult. Getting better is about learning how little I really know. There are good dance days and bad. Days of good balance and perfect pirouettes, and days when you can’t even stand right. But it’s always good to be there, be present, and try. And then start again on another day.
