Today was another good practice. I can’t help but laugh, I am doing so many tricks with such ease now, that I thought I would never get. It’s a good feeling. I have yet to have yet to show anyone what I am doing, I guess I am shy, but I think I am going to show my husband this weekend so he can see how good I am getting. I still can’t get the hang of isolations, but it’s getting there. Hopefully something will just click and I will get it!

So after my last entry, I decided I was NOT going to go down like that. I started my poi lessons over and watched every little thing in the video and did it step by step, and you know what I got 3 new moves down TONIGHT! I did each one until I got comfortable with it, then I made myself do it 10 times in a row with no screw ups. If I messed up I started all over again and tried to get to 10. Once I had done a move that many times, I knew I was ready to move on, and tomorrow I will try them again, but I feel like a poi trick is something like riding a bike, once you get it and all the movements your good. I never knew how much rhythm goes into poi. The beats and the timing of everything, its like music, but in motion.

Anyway I feel so much better since I went out and I didn’t give up. I knew if I went to bed tonight with out getting something right I was going to give up again, and I do not want that!

So poi practice didn’t go so well tonight. I don’t know why I can get a move down on my right side and left side independently but when it comes to putting them together I get injuries! I need to take the lap top OUTSIDE with me and practice I guess. I just dont understand why it comes so natually to some people and then there is ME! Will I ever get it? In my mind when I think out a trick I have it, but when it comes to doing it, nothing! BLAH~
