I read this from an anonymous author and thought it best to share: In the blink of an eye, another day is gone; another week is gone; another month is gone; another year is gone. Time marches on. It’s never too late to start something new.
About 3 weeks ago, I started Hawaiian hula lessons – something I’ve been wanting to do for some time. It’s so enjoyable and I’m learning from a hula expert! Although I’ve been a dancer my whole life, I felt It’s always best to extend my knowledge and learn something challenging!
Yes, it really is challenging and I have to work hard at the correct hand and hip movements. Going into my 80th year of my trip around this earth in a few months, I need to challenge this brain to learn new stuff. Hawaiian Hula is certainly not easy, but since doing my Zumba classes for the past 16+ years, the hips are at least cooperating!
Another task lurking for me is to challenge my brain and learn to play a ukulele. I admit the ukulele is a lot more difficult than learning the hula, but I will not give up! My ukulele books are staring at me each day to start lessons.
I was given my yearly job interview last month at one of my jobs. I was noted as having endless energy! Yes, that’s me – the “energizer bunny!” I love all my jobs, ushering at the Smith Center, teaching aerobic and
balance classes in my community and choreographing my dance group.
My belief is to not get “stale,” keep challenging my body and brain and learn new stuff!
Please don’t allow yourself to get stale, challenge yourself for new things, even if it’s so difficult to start. Take each day as it comes and one day BINGO it all comes together!
POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND HAPPY HEALTH TO ALL!
