JAN 30

Wow, January has flown by!  So I finally heard the words today in ballet I've been waiting on....you're making progress!!! What?  Was el capitain speaking to me?  I'm making progress?  I let that sink in for a few minutes and realized I guess just by balancing myself (holding onto the balance bar) is progress. Not such a big deal after all.  Just when I think maybe, just maybe the dictator is warming up to me, she walks by yelling in her Brazilian accent,  point your toes, Connie!  Elbows in, chest out, knees out...I remind her to tell that to my knees and elbows and toes!  I'm actually teasing her.  Isabella is the sweetest, tiniest little gal I've ever met.  She has taken this lump of clay and started shaping it into, well, I'm not sure what yet because she's still molding me.  What a good first decision I made for January's  New Years Resolution...ballet.  In Martha Stewart's words...it's a good thing.
