Sunday Treasures



Sunday Treasures   
        
Dancers are creatures of routine.  We take classes daily, and probably have the same morning and evening routines at home every day.  We probably take the same exact route to class each day.  With a repetitive routine like this, it can be numbing.

Shake things up a bit.  Do something a little different with the morning routine.  Look out a different window and really notice what you see – a different side of a neighbor’s house, a new bird, a tree you never really focused on before.  You might even find a hidden treasure of something really special or beautiful, like a vibrant rainbow, a bush full of blossoms, or a huge full moon.

Little treasures – most of them are hidden only by our preoccupation.  Look for them.  They can hide in people and incidents, too, like the spontaneous, bubbly smile of a child, the hug of someone special, or an unexpected kind word sincerely given.

Become a treasure hunter – it is fun and inspirational!

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Secret #26:  
“Look for hidden treasures every day.”

“Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people.  Forget yourself.”
-Henry Miller
