Running out Time

Lately I am finding that I am running out of time. I have been setting my alarm clock earlier every couple of days and it is not making much of a difference. The earlier I get up the more that needs to be done. It may have to be that, I am taking care of my place and the farm (yes the farm has been there, but never have I ever had to take care of it until this year.)

I do feel that I am behind in my goals and that I am letting my team down. But I am unable to find away out.

Thanks  to push ups and sit ups to keep me engaged.

Thanks to the team and their support.

Cop-Out Blog

OK I must admit that I am at the same point in blogging as some others on the Snake team. I just can’t think of something interesting to to blog about. Yes I am at a loss, sitting at my computer staring at a blank page and looking down at my keyboard wonder what I could possibly write about. As I think about what I have done this week, was anything interesting enough to write about and is it worthily to share with the world. And yes what ever you or I write in our blogs is out there for anyone to read not just the people at Silent River Kung Fu, but I mean everyone that has access to the internet can read what you or I have posted on or blogs. Pretty freaky if you think about it that way. Some one across the world could be reading or following my blog. And it make me think and want to but down in words something meaningful, something that might have a in-pack on the way they look at the world or themselves. I just have to keep reminding myself that not everything I write about will have an effect. Most times I do write for the hart, which I find most times a little more emotional then I am comfortable showing out in public.

I am not sure what this blog have to do with my continuing journey in the martial arts, but it is my cop-out blog.

“ME” Days

Fridays are “ME” days. Why I say that is yesterday was Friday and I had a tone of things that had to get done for other people before the Saturday came, and I was considering not going to class last night so I could get all of them done. Then I thought why should I give up something that I enjoy, and am passionate about, plus it relieves stress (something that I need these days), I also find that I can get lost in Kung Fu and forget a time what is happening around me outside of the Kwoon. 

Fridays could be everyones “ME” days if you so chose to make it yours, or any other day that works for you. Oh sure there will always be a unforeseen circumstance that will come between you and your “ME” day, but if you chose a “ME” day and consciously be selfish and stay focused about what that day is for, you will find yourself giving up less “ME” days and be able to accomplish great things.

Everyone on the I Ho Chuan should consider making Friday into a “ME” day since that is that day we have a block of time that is scheduled for us at the kwoon, be it an official class or practice class everyone should be there. FYI Attendance was low last night.

Sit-ups / Push-ups

I have not much to report this week, my numbers are increasing at a slow but steady pace, not at the rate that I original planed but they are increasing. I am finding it difficult (near impossible) at this time to maintain the pace that I had set for myself prior to the start of this year. I do have hope that when things settle and the changes that have occurred in my family life become my new norm, I will again be able to concentrate on picking up the pace to make up for this lag. I am thankful for the push-ups and sit-ups on keeping me engaged, without them I feel that I might have been lost.
