So Good!

This is the first time in about 2 years I've been genuinely been able to say I feel GREAT! Absolutely nothing hurts! Woohoo! I'm so ready to do so many activities, however, I've been warned to take it easy for the next couple months while everything lines up and heals in my body correctly. Between diet and chiropractor I've been able to get myself so much better without continued use of prescribed medication. Sure, I'll still have bad days but who cares, I'll now have amazing ones too. I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing about this but it's been quite the struggle for me and I haven't had much else to talk about. I hope I haven't whined too much. Sorry if I did.

Now, I just have to work on getting back on a routine like I had the first year I started I Ho Chaun and attend classes regularly. It's tough to do that when everyone who started kung fu after you is a belt or two ahead and the belt levels behind you are in better shape than you are. There's always that feeling of frustration and intimidation and embarrassment, whether you like it or not. I've just got to keep in mind, I'm me, it's my kung fu and there's always going to be times I'll be sick or injured and be behind, but as long as I'm mentally strong enough to keep going, I'll still be ahead of the guy that quit or didn't try at all. Moving slowly is still moving.

Pandamonium was a lot of fun, I got a prime location in the shade and got to watch the dunk tank for most of the day. Seemed to be the biggest highlight. I didn't get to watch the Pandamonium game, but I'm sure the kids had fun. It's always a good day to meet people and catch up with other's that aren't in the same class as you.

I really like being on the I Ho Chaun team, even though the past while I haven't been the best participant. I'm pretty sure without it I would've given up a long time ago. You all keep me motivated and I appreciate those who took a moment to check on me.

Toodles!

  2. You have been a better participant than you realize. Despite your setbacks, you continued to be one of the strongest leaders. I am glad things are improving.
