Something I Can Do That I Didn't Know I Could

As I write, I am cooking red peppers in balsamic vinegar. I really like to make it and usually serve it with goat cheese on good bread. Except that good bread is next to impossible to find here, so I am trying some sort of good bread... I just got back from the store where I finally got some stuff to cook with (hence the peppers). I did drop a jar of chicken broth though and learned that here they don't give you a new one, you pay for the broken one. That was somewhat frustrating.

So far today has been a really good day. The thing I am most excited about is that while Nisha has been out of town, Christian and I have continued our training! It is so hard to self motivate and especially because I still don't know all that much, I was worried that we wouldn't go or that we wouldn't get anything done. But we have been doing really well, working on our parts for the show, but also just practicing tricks and trying to get stronger (which for me, feels impossible, like no matter what I do it's not enough). I am so happy because when I leave San Miguel and I don't have Nisha pushing me to do thing and try new tricks, I think I am going to be able to do it! It's not as hard as it seems to just go and do whatever you can. Everytime we leave Christian and I are so excited like we can't believe we actually did it. This is one of the things I am learning from Nisha; how to put into action the things that you think about doing. She gets more stuff done in one day than I think many people do in a week. Seriously, without exaggeration. She is incredibly productive. Not only that, but there is a woman who is just starting again after a long break and we are helping her remember movements and teaching her some new things and it's so cool to be able to explain things to her. Not only is does she learn, but once I have shown someone else, it is much harder for me to forget. I am starting to feel like I will be able to be a teacher. Soon! On top of that, the circus school is moving to a new location next month and there I may be able to teach some Pilates. It would be so good to just get started with that. I feel like it's what I really want to be doing right now and since the certification class got canceled, I am all off track. So I am just going to create a class myself and start at the school. I don't want to keep putting it off forever.
So I don't know what else, I am just so happy to be acting on my wishes instead of just thinking about how I can't do it. I have more energy today than I have had in so long, which is just totally reinforcing what a good thing this is. Chao!
