The update
I'm happy about some things, nervous about others, bummed about others. Sometimes I wish I didn't care about things so much. Looking back on it last night it hit me - its been over five years that I've been alternately working toward and then giving up on this. I need to figure out how to stop either caring about it, or letting it get me down when reality sets in.
Getting up at 5:45 AM is hard enough as it is without doing it after a night of little sleep and some crying.
I'm back to dancing again tonight though, so that's a good thing. I decided to do a Persephone dance for my class after all; given everything it seems appropriate.

Persephone dance ...
Can you tell me a little bit about your Persephone dance?
I've invented a few in my day ...
The Hades/Persephone story was the first Greek Myth that captivated me.
Moreover, 'tis the name of my wife.
Re: Persephone dance ...
Well, in my bellydance class we all need to come up with a Goddess dance. I was planning on doing one for Artemis (given her and my affinity toward animals) but was listening to some music in the car the other day and heard a good persephone song. Given we've had a bad chain of events occur lately (but that we're trying to make some good of it) I thought that paying tribute to Persephone was more apropos.
The song? Aerosmith's "Take me to the other side". Bellydancing to Aerosmith should be interesting :)
Re: Persephone dance ...
I love "mixed media" like that.
Aerosmith and Bellydancing: very cool.
Now try and dance away some of those blues!
Movement is therapeutic. (insert wacky dancing image here)
Re: Persephone dance ...
That's what I'm hoping for. I haven't had class in two weeks so tonight will be a huge help!
