...enjoying the ride...

This.

...and this.

...and this.















(Our carpet is floating two inches off the ground...which reminds of something a student said this past week. I'll tell you in a bit!)

Furiously making calls, patiently (ha!) waiting for people, listening to experts explain our situation, trying to comprehend what they were saying...these were the only adventures I had time for today.

It's obviously been a long weekend. When asked why we thought this happened, Andy's blue response was, "Because things were going too well."

Yes, this certainly does feel like a setback...

And though I wouldn't have chosen this adventure, I've learned so much more about my home and what it means to be a homeowner. Our new, noisy house guests (the fans and dehumidifiers) are staying for the next 3-4 days. We'll have to see how the week progresses.

Back to my student.

Sometimes I use a parachute in class to show form, to experience rhythm and to, you know, have general fun. This past Saturday, a four year old boy announced, "I'm not afraid of the flying parachute anymore, Ms. Sharon, because I know how to not fall off."

He leaned in close and whispered, "I learned how in my dream."

Aren't kids amazing?

Go dream about flying parachutes, friends. Be bold and brave in your pursuits! Learn how to not fall off! See how high it will take you!

But most importantly, enjoy the ride! No matter how bumpy it might get.
