learning and re-learning

[rowanberry]

February kind of got away from me... we're already almost at the end! The sun decided to come out a bit this week, it's been hinting at warmth outside which has been lovely - hanging washing on the line, walking home in with the sun on my face, opening all the windows. Yes please.

Last week was a week of trying things again. I had a driving lesson (nearly 5 years since the last one), went to meet a horse available for loan (3 years since I rode or did horsey stuff), and took a ballet class (10 years since I danced). The riding and the ballet came back to me without me even having to think about it - muscle memory I suppose - I was sore the next day but nothing that I wouldn't have expected. The driving... not so much. I don't think that will ever feel natural to me.

I've read more this month than I did in January. Pleased about that.

You have trouble with driving, too? I finally got my license in 2013, but I'm still afraid to drive. I have to get over it if I'm ever going to move out of New York City, but...the fear is strong...

Ohh well done for getting it! I never had the money or the inclination to learn when I was younger - we had a paltry bus service that did well enough for me, and my brothers both drove. I started learning about 5 years ago because I wanted to do more horsey stuff but then I ran out of money. This time around it feels much harder for some reason. It's scary, no doubt about it!
