Today is day 356/365. I am almost done the 365 challenge for 2021. I really want to keep going. I was thinking about continuing, thinking about making a post about continuing and seeing what other people thought, are they sick of seeing my dances everyday? Anyways, I was thinking about it when Jonny said that I waste so much time making dances. He doesn't see what I see. He doesn't know what I am thinking or feeling or getting from making these dances. He suggested that I just make a few and put more effort into them. That is an option. I could go that way. But... I really like making time each day to dance. Here are some of the reasons and thoughts behind.. keeping it going: 

  • I like making time to dance each day
  • I am in the habit of doing it now and it doesn't take that much time
  • I do like having that time to myself. 
  • I like learning new tricks for editing videos
  • I like taking the time to listen to new songs and having music ready
  • I like looking around the world and seeing spaces that dances can happen and making them happen
  • I like having these memories of where I have been to look back on. I like watching my own videos. I like seeing my life in dances. Why wouldn't I want to watch my life evolve through dance.. as I age and change? 
    • Covid
    • Korea
    • Quarantine in Jeju
    • NLCS
    • Jeju adventures
    • Quarantine in Vancouver
    • New school in Squamish
  • I like to explore new moves... I know this would be even better if I had longer sessions each day.. but at least I am making time every day to move and explore.  
  • I don't get to teach dance all day like I used to - so this is a way to keep me connected to dance each day. 
  • It forces me to take time for me each day - it seems like more work - but it is relaxing for me to do these videos - to turn on a song and dance in the trees or go for a dance walk - I even like editing videos and am really happy when I have time to play with editing instead of just adding a cover and sharing. 
 I guess the real question is, why wouldn't I keep on going?
