4 big reasons...why...

Lately, I have not been able to spend the time on  posting on my blog or commenting as much as I have in the past...I still read my blog lists, but seem to run out of time to comment...Sorry guys....There are many reasons for this...
1. I gave myself a Challenge several months ago now, to complete my chores before turning on the computer every day..This has been great as sometimes I just don't get to turn it on at all....This has given me amazing freedom...
2. I  created a chore list and a weekly fortnightly monthly- you get the idea chore list. This has certainly been very beneficial to our family..I now know exactly where I am up to in our household chores.
3. We leave early afternoon a few afternoons a week to attend Ballet class for Brid..therefore I am without internet connection...you may say, Why not connect to WiFi..Yes that would be easy, but seriously I am enjoying doing other craft and leisure activities whilst waiting in the Ballet foyer. I have been known to knit, sew, embroid, mend and replace ballet ribbons and make Brids Skirt - with a little help from a friend all in the foyer...
4. ...and the biggest one, is that  I have started adult Beginner Ballet classes. Its been loads of fun, I have learnt so much. I am understanding Ballet terminology and French. I am given position corrections by my ballet teachers, they care so much...
I have lost several kilos and most of all gained more flexibilty in a troublesome hip condition...I practice every chance I get. I am doing at least 1 class, if not 2 a week..
This week is open week At Ballet so I get to watch Brids Classes and she in turn gets to watch mine .The courtesy rules of open week is that she is to not interrupt or  talk during class.
Brid  has been a wonderful help for me. She is very encouraging and supportive, as is Dermot.
So I have made myself a new pledge, I will post once a week, hopefully Friday nights and comment on all those amazing blog posts I have seen lately...

As you can see our life is pretty full and we are all the better for our activities we are participating in....

Leanne,

You sound so happy and content with life! I like your challenge and how you've managed to stick to it. Maybe I should attempt something similar.

I bet you feel so good with losing the weight and gaining flexibility. Are there many adults who do ballet? Did you dance when you were a child?

I'll watch out for your weekly posts!

God bless!

Hi Leanne,

I'm glad everything is going well with you - you sound really happy:-)

Your hobbies and interests sound very creative and enjoyable. No wonder you seem so peaceful!

God bless:-)

Thanks sue For your lovely comment. There a few adults who do the classes. I did dance when I was younger but changed to jazz so its all very different. I love the alignment.
God Bless

Thanks vicki, it's been quite a lot of fun. It definitely took me out of my comfort zone. But now it's more enjoyable the more I understand the breakdown of each step. Thanks for dropping by. God Bless Leanne

Hi Leanne - that is fantastic to hear! I used to do ballet as a child, and I confess, I do miss it.

I took a hip-hop class a while back, THAT was fun, but unfortunately, it was only a 'once-off' thing.

Keep up the good work - and enjoy! :)
