It Is Well

I had a really marvelous day. It was one of those days where I just felt in love with Jesus. Some days I have to remind myself of that, but it was really just pouring out of me today. In ballet that manifests as it being one of those days where I really didn't care if it was a turning day or not, I just truly enjoy a delightful time dancing with Jesus. Today he was just reminding me, "Yeah, I'm still here" and I was mainly just telling him how much I love having him around. Ballet class itself was very fun--dancey, the teacher wanted expression (which is easy when you're dancing with Jesus--he just makes me smile sometimes), and very helpful.

We learned a lovely piece from Giselle in Variation and I was surprised by how much of it I could do. Hip hop was actually very fun as well--the teacher went slowly and showed us the technique of how to be "groovy". I actually really enjoyed it. Then we had Ballet History which didn't require dancing so was relaxing and we got some good laughs.

The big drama of the day was that the highest level (Diamond), was split into two groups (Diamond A and B). So the lower group (Diamond A) had several upset persons, but it was quite pleasurable in Diamond B--smaller class size and a harder class with LOTS of much-appreciated corrections. I also talked to the artistic director after she watched our class do the Giselle variation. She was very encouraging and kind, and it was fun to tell her that I was from Ms. Cynthia's studio.

My cough was better today, as I'm staying on top of taking decongestants. Fun fact: all the other "foreigners" (as in A and C) were also having cough fits over the weekend, so we've determined it must be some plant blooming that we're not used to. My toes are meh-- 1 new blister today and 2 broken/bruised big toenails (small cracks, but still painful.) My muscles feel pretty good and I can walk like a human still, but we'll see how I feel in the morning. Relaxing at home tonight with Aunt Janet, so I'll probably eat some really tasty food, and maybe read some of my book. Life is good.
