To dance...to dream



Ballet


Today marked the first ballet class that I have taken in I don't know how long.  Granted, the last time I went was just for a few classes so I didn't learn much.  Ballet is one of the things in my life that I wanted to do when I was younger, yet didn't.  My body is run down and tired. My joints are stiff and inflexible due to lack of activity. Needless to say, today's class was difficult.  I feel pretty good about  how I did - I tried my damnedest to stay out of my head and just be aware of my body.  This was and is really challenging for me. I compare myself to others constantly.  I want to look like I know what I am doing at times.  Cherie calls this the something or other - I don't remember.  All I know is that the end result of these mental machinations is me feeling better than or less than.  either way - I don't feel good.
