the return of the flying tortilla!

grrr!!

i’ve been so out of touch lately. i had a big long break there. i didn’t intend to make it such a long break but i think there has just been so much going on in my head… in my life that i needed a moment to step back and look at the scenery.

i’m feeling much better. trying to adjust my body to my meds and easing back to normalcy. the hardest bit over the last months or so has been trying to parlay my anxieties of this body. trying to accept that while my body has these significant breakdowns from time to time, ultimately it’s the strength my body that wins those battles. so i took some much needed time.. not off per se. but time away from my normal day to day and focused rather on some physical fun. a water ballet!

every year this group, fluid movement, here in baltimore does a big ol’ water ballet. this year’s theme is Darwin’s theory of evolution. I get to wear a mexican wrestling mask and swim and slow-motion fight. it’s hilarious. and hard and challenging and so so fun.

this image is of my big entrance to the pool. well not mine, but my alter ego, “the flying tortilla”. so here’s to the water ballet and being back in the pool, letting all my fears wash themselves away in the summer sun.

oh and with all the hubub i missed my own one year of blogging anniversary! so happy day to that too!
