It was hard not to be able to really hoop during the two weeks when we were in the thick of kitchen renovation (we still aren’t truly done). I have been enjoying every morning, being able to crank up great tunes and just play in the hula hoop again! And, I seem to be getting better at the trick I am working on, “pulse”.

Though I still can’t get it to stay up near my armpits for very long, I am having an easier time getting it there in the first place. Who knew learning this trick would prove so tricky? I like to think of it as a good reminder that everyone is good at different things. Tricks that were easy for me might be hard for someone else. Just like in other areas in life, we don’t all excel at the same things. And that is what makes life interesting.
