Guess who took her first dance class today? And guess who found out she definitely has 2 left feet?!? :-D (And here I've been wondering why I don't wear flip-flops... I just need flip-flips! :)
So.
Today was good. In general. Ha.
It was one of those scurrying-around-panicking-cause-you-can't-find-your-employee-ID-card, almost-late-for-work mornings...
...followed by a scurrying-around-without-a-break day on the job...
...followed by scurrying-home-and-back-and-rushing-around-unable-to-find-a-building-in-Fairfax...
...followed by a dance class. This involved many odd dance partners (ha... what demographic would you expect at a community-center-ish beginner's swing dance class???)... and a certain old man dance partner named "Mo" who, among other wizened bits of criticisms, told me, "You're HOPPING... STOP hopping." I bit my lip and refrained from telling him he was SHUFFLING, and the remaining part of the class was only mildly exasperating.
It was one of those days, when, even in the midst of so much "scurrying" I couldn't help but put it in perspective... with the beauty all around me, the people I love, the God who loves me, the fickle unimportance of so many things we get frazzled over... And after all the scurrying, everything turned out just fine. No - just WONDERFUL. Got a new ID card no problem, being late for the class, big deal...
...and, at the end of it all, I got to drive home under a mystical full moon, towards a flaming sunset, dotted with little silhouettes of planes gliding through the epic streaks of pink... listening to emotional music... and peacefully contemplating various amazing things including, but not limited to, Star Wars and the nature of my car's headlights. But alas, that's for another post. 'Cause now I'm gonna go eat. (Oh, and to add to the brilliance of the day, my mom baked awesome cookies... not like I'm leaving ya'll for a cookie, or anything... :-D )
Oh, and if anyone out there has an extra size-7 RIGHT foot, I might be up for a swap. =)
You're SCURRYING... STOP scurrying.
