Truths for Me, Light Reading for You

So first of all: Zumba! Like I said I would, I did my first Zumba workout yesterday. The good news- Zumba is totally fun, and definitely some good cardio. The bad news- all that dancing made me want to go out and dance, so instead of finishing the tape I finished a beer and went out. Don't worry though, I came up with a solution to what could have been a recurring problem; I'll do my Zumba in the morning and/or midday, and steer clear of evenings.

In the midst of my beginning-blogging I have been wondering a bit about why people blog, why blogs are so popular. I've come to the logical conclusion that it's different for everyone. (Round of applause for my cleverness). But really, whatever the reasons, I think they always involve two things, however subliminally. And those two things are a desire for communication, to be heard, to bridge the gap; and self-knowledge. I've read in the Prophet "Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge. You would know in words that which you have always know in thought." It's a little crazy to assume that throwing thoughts out into the abyss of the world wide web makes them more legitimate or recognizable self-truths, but I can go with it. Everyone else has...

Lately I've been lucky enough to be experiencing some growing pains. I say lucky because who shouldn't be thankful for progress? Despite that, there's something about being oceans away from every person who has known you for at least more than five months, that makes the tugging and pulling of growing pains hurt just a little more. I suppose that's the protein shake to my self-growth diet. : ) Anyway, I'm starting to realize how making difficult decisions and dealing with their consequences are growth hormones in themselves.

More new business: I learned to make crepes. Granted, it's much more simple than I ever thought. Now all I need is some groceries so I have something to put inside the crepes, (I can only eat so much Nutella before I'm missing peanut butter with a passion). Also, crepes and my new Zumba workouts are archenemies since I don't think taking multivitamins makes up for the fact that crepes have absolutely no nutritional value. What's a girl to do?

It's the afternoon already, I am loving my no-commitments January! Time for travel booking, Zumba, and other things that will lead up to a great night at Szimpla.

Farewell.
