Writing through the writers block

Feeling the urge to write today, although I'm not sure yet what about.

I had my second Capoeira class today. It was soooo good. Last week I was sore for 3-4 days afterward. It's a total body workout. I hurt in muscles that I hadn't used in year, some I didn't know I had. And it felt delicious. Now I need to start learning Portuguese so I can follow along in class better. I must say that I am excited to learn more about a culture that I am sort of a part of. I say sort of because while I am part Portuguese, my family is from the Azores off the coast of Portugal, not Brazil. I would love to visit both and compare.

I have been in a weird sort of funk lately. It's been like the tides, although nowhere near as steady. The winter was isolated, Noah and I both holed up and were fairly anti-social for most of the cold season. But once it started to get warm, we began to come out of our concrete box and into the sunlight. We've been getting outside as much as we can, going on walks, meeting friends, and trying yummy new food (Habesha-amazing Ethiopian!).

I felt great after my yoga detox retreat. And felt great for weeks afterward. But then I began to sink into some old routines, and the glow faded. Lately my body has been feeling very bogged down, not a lot of energy, kind of anxious and almost angry at times. I need to make better health choices. I felt really good after last weeks Capoeira class, and feel awesome today too. I just have to keep going, every chance I get. I have to go to at least 2 a week to make my unlimited class membership worth it. Wed/Fri mornings and Sat afternoons will probably work very well for me.

Okay, I should really work now.
