White Belt...

I was able to do many requirements this morning before work, but not as much as I had hoped, so had more to do tonight. Helping with Jr. Tigers is fun, especially working with some of the students who started out in Little Tigers. It is very rewarding working with someone for a period of time and watching them grow. I was working on my new skill for a little while tonight and find that it is much like being a white belt. I feel very lost and my body does not want do what my mind tells it to do. It is definitely uncomfortable, if not entirely awkward. I definitely have a greater appreciation for the skills and hard work that is required to become proficient.

Tired Wednesday!
