All systems are go....

Today would be such an awesome day to just lay in bed and read and not do a damn thing for once...but WAIT!! No bed? hhhhmmm...can't take it much longer. I still haven't recuperated from that double I pulled the other night. I really need the money, but my body needs more important things.

I am FINALLY going to the Louisville School of Massage!! It is so amazing. My class was great today. We played with cornstarch...yeah!! And we learned the second rule of massage-All things being equal, confidence is as important as competence. Then we got to go around the room and explain what that meant to each of us or how we have applied it to our lives recently. It turned out to be very emotional and inspiring. We all got to give each other advice and listen to some amazing stories. Martin, the only male in the class, had such an amazing story. I swear, I am totally in love with this man!! He comes from this terribly poor family in Arkansas but has slowly worked his way to being this vibrant, successful, amazing man! He is a percussionist, first and foremost! He was in the Navy, was a dancer while based in Hawaii for three years, he's been all over the world, he owns two ranches, and is talking to a lawyer today to see about getting a patent for an idea he has on a way to solve the energy crisis!! And, still, his favorite things to do are mow his yard naked, wear those one-piece pajamas with the feet on them, climb trees in the back yard, and just act like a little kid-all day, every day!! And everything he said was so inspiring. I really feel like we all bonded very well. And as I was laying on the table getting rubbed down, and Richard, one of my instructors, was dancing and jumping around the room as we listened to Moby, I knew that this is where I am meant to be. Learning all of this, getting massages, and helping others feel as good as I do is the best release from all of the fuss and drama in my life; it is the only time that I really release all of my cares and just relax. I always find myself forgetting about everything and everyone else in my life while I am there. I can't even begin to explain how ecstatic I am about my decision to do this. You would just have to see the joy in my face to understand. In my opinion, confidence is more important than anything else!!

I am so blissful and at ease right now. I am really considering calling in today. But, alas, that money keeps tugging back at me. My baby needs insurance.
