I love our TaeKwonDo Community

I was feeling a little beat down yesterday, but today was a much better. Thanks to Master Randle for talking me off the edge. Thanks to Master Knight for his never ending patience. And of course, I can not forget my Tae Kwon Do buddy, Instructor Foster, who is always my cheerleader. We started out in the Tuesday/Thursday morning adult class together. He is so talented and such a great family man. Y'all are great. 

Masters Hartle led a great class today. Learned a lot. I appreciated that it was well organized and moved fast. I can better study on my own and with my mentor, now that we have had an introduction to forms and sticks in class. This cycle will be challenging because of schedule changes, the new location, and snow days. Subtle changes in the forms does not help either. 

Just finished my conference (it lasted 1 to 7:30PM). So much to do. Still need to either buy a new computer or get the old one fixed (likely not worth the money), Oh yeah, I've got to go grocery shopping tomorrow...no food in the house. And Max, my cat, is mad because he needs new litter. Plus I have to reread some pathology reports in preparation for next week. 

Regardless, feeling very blessed.......
