“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”
My birthday is April 13th, a little over a month away.
Since January, I have been more diligent in stretching. I don't always remember to stretch at home, but I have exceed anything I could hope or imagine. I am not the most flexible person, but I can reach farther and bend father than anything before.
I have a goal, a dream, and soon to be a reality, of doing my splits by my birthday. Center, I may never get, as it is the hardest to do, but the others will be realities.
Yesterday at ballet class, between exercises, I slid into my right split.
3 inches to go. Just 3 measly inches. So close I wish I could go the rest of the way, but I can't.
Inspired I went to my left split, 4 inches, just 4. I could barely contain my excitement!
I figured since my teacher was still working with someone or music (I can't remember which) I would do my center split. I'd say about 12-15 inches to go.
Now you are probably wondering why my goal is my Birthday. I will do my splits on my birthday I just know it.
I may never be a prima ballerina, dance with a famous company or even meet a star, but I will be able to say:
"I had a goal and I met it!"

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
