The Ballerina

I never did take ballet lessons when I was a little girl. And no gymnastics for me. I am the stereotypical klutzy gal who has two left feet when it comes to graceful moments. In fact, I was petrified of my college graduation, convinced I would be the one to fall flat on my face while walking up the steps toward my college chancellor and my diploma. (I wonder if I would still be a graduate if I didn't walk across the stage???)

I've come to terms with my clumsiness. Its part of who I am. I might as well embrace it, right?

But that all changed when I got to spend the morning with Hannah and her iPhone jukebox at the ballet studio. I had more than a few twinges of jealousy: "If only I were that graceful!" But, alas, that will never be.

But, hey, God has gifted each of us in unique ways: Hannah expresses beauty through dance and I try to express beauty through photos, eh? I'll stick with that. =)
