So......what do you do when life intervenes with your plans and goals? I had recommitted to going to ballet class at least twice a week for six months last year. Did great for a couple of months and actually started to feel the reconnection and the spark of long dormant muscles, skills, feelings, and joie de vie.
Then came the hip tweak. Then came the real estate extravaganza (which is how I fund my life.) Then came the wedding in August and divorce paperwork started less than 12 months later.
Oops......I forgot to go to ballet class.
How many times in life do we get derailed and just decide "That didn't work" or "I can't do it" or "well I tried and I couldn't". I just don't want to live that way whenever I am able to avoid it. SO - I am back in class. Head held high (if not wobbly, off center, and falling out of releve repeatedly). No explanations about being missing in action for several months. No reasons why it happened. Just showed back up and grabbed the barre so to speak.
It was a little tough as this is the same dance studio where Mr. Soon to Be Ex and I took dance classes to get ready for our first dance. Memories hang in the room.
On the bright side - I have lost 22 pounds since the past time I was in class. I had hoped that would have made me far more flexible (no such luck yet!)
I guess all I want to say is - don't give up on your dreams. Don't give up on what is important to you, even if others do not think it is important. If you miss a goal or a deadline, don't sweat it - set a new one.
Life will keep jete-ing along whether we do or not.
