This year the one goal that I am finding has made the greatest change in my life is the goal to walk a 1000 miles or as us Canadians say 1609 Kilometres. This one goal is a very simple goal and a easy goal to attain, but it is also a very addictive one. At the beginning of the year I was find it hard to just get in the bear minimum steps per day to be able attain this goal by the end of the year, now I double or triple what I need each day. That is not the greatest change that this goal has had on me, but only the by product of it. The change has been in my attitude and the way I look at things. If I need to go some where and I am able to walk there I will, I will park farther away in a parking lot just to get the steps. I find that I am not as rushed in my day, as I will walk to where I want to go instead of driving there. This is a great goal and I am thankful that it is one of the requirements in the I Ho Chuan.
Today I find myself reflecting on “Where I am? What am I
doing?” 
” The exercise
for centering oneself is a simple one. Stop thinking of what you intend to do.
Stop thinking of what you have just done. Then stop thinking that you have
stopped thinking those things. Then you will find the Now, the time that
stretches eternal, and is really the only time there is. Then, in that place,
you will finally have time for yourself.” - Robin Hobb
Sumer is now upon us and the hardest struggle is fast approaching (Sumer Vacations). Trying to stay focused and engaged in the I Ho Chuan while spending time with our family on all of those wonderful planed vacation and outings. Last year I did not have that problem as I had canceled all family vacation and camping and hunting trips, this year I don’t think I will be able to get away with doing something like that again. I am already getting pushed that we have to go do something as a family this summer.
