I'm here reading, mostly. I'm trying hard to get more balance in my life.
Email had been getting quite compulsive for me. I'm getting more things
done that I want to do by putting some lists on nomail and being more
selective about what I reply to on the lists I'm still getting.

Hi,
I decided I needed to get out and do something new. I like to dance so I
signed up for a salsa class. We rotate partners often in the class. In the
first class there was one man who said to me, when I asked how he was doing that
his ego was suffering, since he couldn't seem to learn the basic step we were
working on. I noticed after the lesson that his wife was trying to help him
with it.
On Friday we had our second lesson. I wasn't surprised to notice they
weren't at class. I think it is sad to think that often if there is something we
can't do well, we don't want to do it. I've noticed with the contra dancing I
do there are beginners that seem to "get" it right away. I think of them as
"body" learners. And then there are those that learn thro their heads, and they
count and analyze the dances and the music. If these people hang in there,
they too become good dancers, it just takes longer.
I'm a poor skiier, a slow jogger and hiker, and a good dancer, but I love it
all. I think I read it in Wayne Dwyer's book - that if you don't have to be
"good" there you can do a lot of things.
But, I also believe that if you try something, and don't like doing it, you
have learned that, and don't need to "stick in there", it is OK to move on to
something you do find interesting.
