I am listening to a playlist called, “Calm down Michelle, and I'm glad you had a good time at dance.” It is beautiful calming music that makes me happy. All eras, all genres. I made this playlist a few years ago when I came home from dance so wound up that I was afraid that I wouldn’t sleep. Wound up in a good way. Because I love dance. Its my thing. Well. One of my things. One of my favoritest things.
I have to take the whole summer off of dance because of a broken ankle. This made me very sad. On the other hand? I can walk. Sort of. I'm getting there. And I have my beloved pup back. And soon, right at the end of my street there will be concerts, music festivals, an art fest, a farmers market, a classic car show, food trucks, and lots+ lots of music, all at the beautiful scenic water. If you’ve been following along, you're aware that #WeLiveInAMagicalPlace.
Kind of like, the other day, I tried to take Miss KD Puppy to daycare. I was blocked at every turn because of road construction. I could be angry and annoyed because of inconvenience and delay, or I can be happy that they are fixing the road.
Im getting better. My body and my head. And the road is getting help. And getting better. I choose to be happy and appreciate the good. Im not sure if Im climbing out of the rabbit hole, or in to a new and better one. But Im very consciously choosing to have a good life.
Oh, how we have sorted stuff out at work. It was really difficult, but we have figured out a plan that we never would’ve, had we not faced some bumps.
I have sorted out my free time, so that its either something I enjoy, or a cause I believe in, or something that helps my mental or physical health.
And that’s the best I can do for now. I have good days and bad. I hit HARD roadblocks. And then I either ask for help, or help myself, depending.
Ill dance again in the fall. But right now, I am excited just to walk. I am pretty sure this is a metaphor for everything in my life.
