"How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?" ~ Satchel Paige

When I first thought of writing a blog, I had some real insecurities about how to go about it and how it would be received.  Would anyone really be in the least bit interested in anything that I had to say?  I told a friend of mine that I kept expecting that someone would say "Who does she think she's kidding?" I guess that regardless of our ages - when we try something new, and put ourselves out there, there is a degree of anxiety that goes along with it it.  I think that I have pretty much overcome those "first day of school" fears, and have begun to really enjoy the process.  I love carting my camera around with me and snapping photos of things that I enjoy, and that I think readers will enjoy as well.  Usually, a blog topic just comes to mind, but on occasion, I do wonder what to write about next.  This is when I take a gander at what other bloggers are writing about - what inspires them, and does it inspire me as well.

It was in perusing other blogs that I came across the video clip below, from A Butterfly in My Hair. Inspiring is indeed the best word to describe it - and calming, and uplifting. It is about Maia, who is a 95 year old Russian ballet dancer.  You will feel good just watching it - I promise.
