So You Probably Figured Out That....

Ok, so you probably figured out the secret about the little marmalade story in my last post. Really, stop with the emails already, thank you very much. If I ever worked with you, and even if I did ever bring in marmalade, really, it was ok. :-)

A Little Marmalade

I was working at some place and I went for a walk on my break. I came to a trash can and looked inside because I was bored and saw some marmalade. I really like marmalade and I was upset because who would throw away marmalade?! So I picked it out of the trash and took it back to work with me. Before anybody could see me, I put it in the cupboard. The next morning, I came in and saw all my coworkers enjoying marmalade with their coffee. And everyone was asking who brought in this great marmalade. With a smile on my face, I took the credit. Everyone was happy and it all worked out.

Capoeira

Capoeira is slowly working its way into my life. As much as I've been resisting starting to study it given my already hectic life schedule, I now find myself entertaining the idea, even looking up local instructors. I first learned about Capoeira a few years ago but recently I had the opportunity to talk to someone who's been a capoeirista his entire life. His stories, comments, and reflections about this martial arts sport reminded me of the time in my life when I'd get up at 4 am to practice and train for sports - at the time, getting up so early to do something so challenging was one of the hardest things I did. But now, it's a feeling I miss. And as I think this, I glance over at the stack of canvases leaning against the wall - I miss that too. I feel like I have to make time for all these things I enjoy and all those things, like Capoeira, I want to start to enjoy. At the same time, I'm told that "meeting the right person is a full time job" lol Great, so I'll be single forever? Really, whoever came up with that idea I don't think has a clue.
