Do it 2x
In my youth I used to make some statement that included the words, "do it two times"... there was more to that, but it appears (so far) that is how many tries it is taking me to make it through this 2nd Dan level.
Thank you Master Shin for having the belief in me that I can do this, and for the inspiration and direction I need to help me move forward. After the health battles I went through during the spring cycle, and knowing that I may never be 100% healthy again, I have to admit, I am a little gun shy.. I had some scary moments, and in those moments, I found it brought the things that are most important in life to the surface.
I am just going to DO MY BEST ! ... that truly is all I know how to do. I have to learn to listen to my body better than I do, and give it more respect when it asks for it.
All that being said, Here we go again! After the Saturday BB class, and requirements, then yesterday and today... I'm feeling it. I have a few new aches and pains. Glad to be having those however, it means I am still walking this earth and able to feel them. So yeah to that ! ...
I decided not to push and take a class today. I am going to meet up with my self defense partner in the morning and go through my requirements and practice the SDs.. then later tomorrow night, I am going to finally take a few hours for myself. Girls night, and we are going to the Kid Rock Concert. woo hoo !
Night all, Have a GR8 Tuesday !
