Roaring Santa Ana Winds
It is incredibly windy today - so windy that the sound of it woke me up early this morning! I could hear our patio furniture blowing over. I hate these hot East winds, and so does my head. I feel pretty good this morning, so I’ll take that as a good sign and do what I can to hold onto it.
Ballet was tough last night, and I felt rather flustered several (OK, more than just several) times during barre and center. But I’m learning to recognize those feelings creeping up and trying to place them out of the way, where they belong, so that I can continue to try and concentrate, and give the combinations my best effort. My classmates (the regulars) are starting to get to know me a bit better too, and I could see that at one point a couple of them were reaching out (figuratively) to me last night during one particularly confusing turning combination. It’s nice to feel a little bit “known” there now, after 5-6 months of lessons.
