Did I mention that I am going to my first tap-dancing class tomorrow? Oh, I forgot? I apologize. "My bad" as the youngsters say. Actually I still say that - hooray, I'm still young!
Anyway I digress...my first tap-dancing class starts tomorrow. Over the past couple of years I have had many fleeting thoughts about trying tap-dancing. I can't really tell you where it came from. I did a bit of ballet when I was younger but that didn't last very long at all. Of course now I wish that I had continued on with the ballet - what posture I would have now!
So I found this class through the City of Chandler. It's a 10 week class for $35 - pretty good deal, huh? I can't tell you how excited I am for the class tomorrow. I signed up for it some time in July and so I have been patiently patiently waiting for TOMORROW! Can you feel the excitement pouring off the page?
But stop.

I have more to share with you.
So today as I was driving around for work I started thinking again about tomorrow evening's class and I began to reflect on this insane level of excitement that I was experiencing and I realized that wait a second, am I more exuberant about the tap-dancing or the fact that I am doing something that I've been wanting to do? Something that I'm doing for myself, where I have an evening for me, myself and moi. Hmm, it made me really stop and think about it. I mean I'm in a job 40 hours a week - wait, check that, it's definitely more than 40 hrs a week - where I'm paid to give myself to children, parents, schools, our staff, our system, etc. I'm in a helping profession. I'm paid to help. Man, it's exhausting just talking about it! And so when I put that in to context of this little tap-dancing class, perhaps I can draw upon a deeper understanding of my excitement.
Either way, tomorrow evening will be good for me. I will be leaving work early and putting on my tap dancing shoes which I purchased last week. Oh yes, I have tap dancing shoes my friends! And I almost got those little dancer leg warmers too but I thought that might be over-doing it just a tad.
So I will have to report to you how tomorrow evening goes. Hopefully I won't be disappointed!
