" All things are possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so, as of now."

For years noone could explain scientifically how a bee could fly. It's shape isn't aerrodynamic and its puny wings had to carry a relatively large cargo. Recently, the answer to this dilemma was found. The bee beats its wings at 230 beats per second. Also, the bee can stretch out its wing beat amplitude to carry larger loads such as pollen. So how does this relate to the beautiful picture on the top? Well, I recently found out that I may not ever be able to safely go on pointe. To go on pointe I would have to work really hard and even so I could seriously damage my knees. But, I'm taking encouragement  from the bee. I'm stretching and strengthening every day everything from  toes to shoulders. Even more, I'm going on an alkaline diet which can increase flexibility and ease muscle tension.Ballet isn't the world to me but I always wanted to dance on pointe and do pas de deux. Hearing that I may not be able to go on pointe makes me want to go on pointe soo badly. Now, this post will end as it began with some quotes that inspire.

You must do the things you think you cannot do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe
Every wall is a door.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
- Moliere
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
- Helen Keller
Much thanks for reading. Many many hugs and warm feelings. :)

 I had a wonderful weekend. I didn't really do anything exciting but I did some planning for amazing weekends to come. :) Concerts, party, and a career in ballet. I started ballet again after three years of a "break". It wasn't so bad because I practiced the steps all the time at home. 1 problem is that my ankle muscles are flop, and im as flexible as a wooden stick. But, we all start somewhere don't we. During the class I thought about a poster in my piano teacher's studio. Its a little kid in a huge baseball stadium with a baseball bat bigger than he is. On the top it says every pro was a beginner...Inspired...My goal is to wear pointe shoes and to be flexible as a rubber stick. My ballet teacher says that if I work hard I could wear pointe shoes in a year. Flexibility is on me and how often I do some serious stretches. Tommorow I'll hopefully do a pic post on my ballet experience. For the meantime here are my
 ballet endeavour inspiration pictures.


I hope you had an amazing weekend..
