My W commented the other day how proud she is of my dancing. A year she would leave ballroom dances frustrated because I knew only a fraction of the dances. I now can dance in almost every style--Foxtrot, Waltz, Salsa/Mambo, Bolero, Samba, Cha Cha, Tango. Quickstep and Vienese Waltz are on the list. We also have a studio we have called home for two years, and continue to deepen friendships. Our R is much better than it was on our last trip over a year ago.
The struggle with Piecing for me is wrestling with the old patterns that got me in trouble in the first place. "Buying the devil a drink" means facing my doubts, fears, and bad habits head on with an attitude of friendliness.
