So The meeting to kick off the spring black belt cycle was Tuesday night. It all seemed a bit surreal. I'm actually "on the cycle". As I listened to Master Evins read 'out-loud' all of the requirements, I could feel my stomach getting tighter and tighter. I've made a lot of positive changes in my life in the last 10 years. Some of those changes were not easy. I've made it through challenges in the past. My experience with TKD have been positive. I've learned a lot about myself and just what my capabilities are. The requirements seem daunting though. I came home Tuesday night and began. I wanted to get started. I've decided I don't have to be fast, just sure. I'm already sore !! ... Oh it could be a looong 10 weeks. I'm going to go to my first black belt class tonight :-)
