Tonight I am feeling extraordinarily relaxed, which is absolutely wonderful, and tremendously disarming as well! Weird not to feel internal pressure to get things done, although I'm sure there are tons of things to do! It's nice to relax.
Part of the reason I may be feeling so relaxed, is my recent (and somewhat unfortunate) indulgence in clips from "So You Think You Can Dance" - particularly from the winner, Melanie. We watched a bit on accident while at Grammy Ona's in Charlevoix, and I kinda got hooked. Badly. Now, I personally wouldn't want to watch the show during the season, as some of the dances can be - to put it somewhat lightly - rather seductive, to a point of uncomfortableness for me personally. But watching clips makes it easy to watch only the routines I want :o)
So I was beginning to wonder why I enjoyed watching this young dancer so much. I soon realized that she never did salsa, or any of the other "wiggely" dances there are for women to do (as far as I know). She's just an incredible contemporary dancer, and I think that either the choice, or the inability, to be so seductive helped her win in the end. Her powerful dancing relates to the average woman, whom I'm sure senses her inner capabilities to be powerful when the going gets tough. Not all women can relate to a overt sex-symbol - I think all women can relate to the inner beauty and power that is within us, which I think - which in some small way - Melanie can embody.
That said, in the course of writing this blog I got hooked on watching some more, and Jon just leans over and says "you're so funny." So glad I married a patient man!
poor you--now you just need to relax about relaxing!
ReplyDeleteyay for guilty pleasures. we all have one--at least yours doesn't involve any sort of match making, as mine often does ;)
