The salsa class last night was exactly what I needed... I feel much more like my normal busy self... the lack of oxygen to my body was dragging me down... way down... but throw in a little rhythm and an hour of music where I wasn't thinking about anything was precisely what the doctor ordered... I woke up in a great mood and have been a bit euphoric all day... add in the glistening snow and the excitement of all of the kids as we watched it come down, there wasn't much that could dampen my mood... I even baked today... an activity that I would normally be up to my elbows in with flour and sugar all over but today was a day for my favorite... oatmeal raisin butterscotchie cookies... mmm mmm mmm... yum... with a nice cold glass of milk... and now I've been practicing the new moves I've learned... I look so silly doing it... nothing like the instructor or some of the other girls who go to salsa clubs, but the dancing takes me back to the days of performing... learning new routines and nailing them on the first try... now I have to work a bit harder to move as graceful as I once did but I'll get there... so with a little cha cha, I am on my way back...
