Attitude is everything

Original Post Date :Thursday, November 11, 2010 at 8:43pm


Typically for me this time of year is usually very low energy.
It's not a bad thing.. it's just a time for introspection and contemplation.

Attitude - if you spell this out and correlate it numerically in the alphabet 1-26 it totals 100

This reminds me that attitude is one of those things that really does mean an awful lot.
Attitudes are equally reflected both good and bad.

So at the moment..  I am reflecting attitude to Gratitude.

I am grateful for the teachers I have studied with. Each of them have taught me something that I didn't know... About myself, my dancing or just dancing in general.
I am grateful for the dancers I have been blessed to share space with..  REGARDLESS of their ability levels, ages and sizes.
They too have taught me a lot about myself and dancing.
I am grateful for all the hard work that our behind the scenes people do. Music, lighting, hauling carpets, chairs, pillows and even the dreaded dancers bags.
You have all been covered in glitter, smelly perfumes and sweat. It's a job that not many thank you for.  So, here it is... THANK YOU FOR HAULING MY CRAP, MAKING SURE MY MUSIC PLAYS, SUPPLYING A SURFACE TO DANCE AND SIT ON.
For all the people who have located, found, donated and shared venue space with us.  There wouldn't be shows without you.
For all the people who have organized those shows.  Putting a show on isn't as simple as it seems. I appreciate you for doing it.
For all the artists who have done programs, business cards, fliers and the people have walked around with tape, staple guns and decent walking shoes putting them up.
For all the friends and family who support us with all of our crazy talk about dance, who have rearranged schedules and events because of our shows, who are willing to sit there and listen as we babble about this that or something else, including make up...  For the record...  there will NEVER be enough make up and one shade of purple is NOT enough.

I wouldn't be a dancer without any of you and I am humbled repeatedly by how the outpouring of support that all of you give.
Thank you!
