Today was another struggle of a day. I had a late night rehearsal uptown last night (which was really a lot of fun, just really late!) so I didn't get home until about quarter to 12...By the time I got to bed it was almost 1 A.M. and I had to wake up at 6:30 to get ready for a full day beginning with Pilates at 8! I was okay energy-wise through Pilates and ballet, but when modern started at 10:45 that's when I started to drag. And then I was dragging all afternoon through my Modern Art class (I can't tell you how many times I nodded off during lecture!) until acting. Thankfully acting woke me up enough to finish out the home stretch of the afternoon!
Being done with class on Tuesdays (and Wednesdays) at 5 P.M. is something I'm very thankful for, especially when I can come home, sit down, and know that I don't have to get back up and head out the door for any more classes or rehearsals. Nights like tonight are the best when I know I don't have any work that has be done immediately for class tomorrow, too. I know I've been saying it a lot these days, but personal downtime is as necessary as checking things off a to-do list! Sometimes, like today, there's really no choice but to do nothing but sit. My body physically will not go too far very quickly, and coming up with coherent sentences isn't an easy task when the words get lost somewhere between the brain and my voice (or, in this case, the computer keyboard)! Homework is out of the question for sure, so not having any to deal with tonight is a wonderful fact :) The thing is, we live in a world where everything and everyone seems to be moving and going at all times! Here and there, coming and going...And we find ourselves frequently in the frenzy of it all!
It's really okay to call a time out from time to time, sit back, close your eyes, and breathe into the stillness of a calm mind and body :)
Tonight, time for rejuvenation makes me happy :)
