It's been a long time since I last blogged and I can list a lot of excuses but that is just what they are, excuses. My work life and home life have been in a constant spin. It was like the skoomchuk narrows that we visited during our recent sailing trip. This is where the ocean tide comes up the narrows while the fresh water flows out. We were able to visit it at ebb tide and the whirlpools where crazy. They were around 15 feet wide and 6 feet deep. They would spin, gain momentum, and then move on. This is what the last 6 months have been like and I know that my work momentum is still growing. But as I watched them, I knew that eventually they smooth out and just become flow.
I have also been missing classes (almost a month of them) and it was very humbling to get back to class and realize that I had to work to do Kempo, it was no longer effortless effort. I have not been following others blogs as it just reminded me of what I was not doing and because of that I have missed out. I have not been as engaged in my Kung Fu as I should have been. I have not been a very good teammate, student, or leader.
But this is all changing. I just came back from vacation, I have had time to reset. To find my rhythm, to clear my head, you know all the old sayings. So now it is time to begin again. Now don't get me wrong, starting over is hard but doesn't that make it more worthwhile? The only time I truly fail is when I quit trying.
See you on the mats!
