Dance is back in session. Today I did 15 minutes. If I'm not sore tomorrow then I'll dance a little longer, adding a little more time each day if I feel like it until I find my sweet spot. I think it's more important to be consistent than to push myself too hard and overdo it.
I'm grateful for the way I feel in my body when I dance. It's as close as I can come to feeling joy these days. I recorded myself practicing and caught myself smiling several times without realizing it. Anything that inspires a smile is something I should keep doing. Plus it might be useful to have a functional body in case I want to use it in the future.
I succumbed to a tiny bit of binge shopping this week. I hadn't bought anything fun in over a year so I ordered some new clothes to wear when the weather gets nice, or to dance in. And some very sexy undergarments that perhaps someone will see some day. Also got a new mask and a cool face shield thing that I'm excited about.
Several people I know have been vaccinated already and I am elated! Looking very forward to live music outdoors and beach days and hikes when we're mostly all vaccinated and things feel a bit safer and sunnier. There's been some opportunities to get the vaccine ahead of our turn due to cancelled appointments, but so far those fill up faster than I can get there. But no worries. I could wait until April if necessary.
I'm very grateful to still have my health and grateful that those around me are still surviving. Let's hope it stays that way.
