45/365 The Happiness Project

Today is October 2, 2009

 

Before I decided to persue visual arts in university, my one true love was dance. From the age of 6 I ate, slept, and breathed ballet. But when tuition, books, paint, canvasses, transportation, brushes, and food became the necessary beneficiaries of my part-time job earnings, I had to make a decision to give up the 5 days a week classes and two pairs of pointe shoes a month and put my time, energy, and money into school. I still took classes as an adult, and every now and then, when the urge strikes, out come the shoes. Somehow they are a lot more painful than they were when I was 20!

 

Happiness today is revisiting something I love, and probably always will.
