Dancing feet

So today, I decided to get off my butt and do something about the things I want to do. I went to a lindy hop workshop this morning and later met up with a friend to go dancing in Central Park. During the summers, they have this thing called "Central Park Swings" where live bands visit each weekend and there's an outdoor swing dance. This was also a big weekend for swing dancers, as it was the Count Basie Centennial Ball, with events all weekend.

Today was just the kick in the butt I needed to jumpstart things. I'm planning on taking lessons to brush up on my dancing skills and I intend on getting good enough to go social dancing again.

I've also decided I will find a way to play tennis again.

It's strange because these are things I love to do, but I haven't gone out to do them. There were always excuses - like I'm too tired, it's too expensive, etc. I don't know what the barriers are sometimes to doing things like this, but I'm gonna break them down.
