Eye for detail

Some days it seems like my eye for detail goes on vacation. I miss things that might affect how well others can work, or I can easily miss something that needs fixing with my training. I know I also have some days where I feel that my eye for detail is pretty good. I think the best way to combat this lack, is to do my absolute best to stay mindful of everything that I do, no matter what my mindset is, or the task that I am working on. A lack of an eye for detail can make a huge difference in everything. And it could also mean that you miss an opportunity to make a difference. Mindfulness is the key.

That felt good

I have missed the last few Tai Chi classes and it felt really good to be there again yesterday. My Saturdays have been more or less the same over the last 5 ish years, and it definitely makes me appreciate it more when it I miss a class. I know I have written about this before, but I find Tai Chi very meditative, so it's a perfect class after the Lil Leopards.

I have heard that there might be a small Tai Chi demo - I sure hope to be a part of that if it happens!

It got away some how

I have many thoughts running through my mind at the moment, and I have been sitting here trying to pin one down so I could blog. This little one has been on my mind for a bit, although it has really only hit me yesterday that I HAVE to find a way to address it. No, it isn't anything huge, but it could be huge to a little someone. I always struggle for a while when new little leopards start. The girls are easy as there is usually only a couple. But the boys, well - while they all look different, when they have similar haircuts it can be difficult to differentiate them from one another. Usually it only takes a month or so for me to get a handle on them, but this year it is seemingly difficult. And it bothers me. Yesterday, I found out that one little guy was not who I thought he was, and I felt incredibly guilty. How can I possibly connect with them, when I don't know who they are? I know, it'll come, but I do need to stay vigilant so that I do learn their names. I'm not sure how yet, but I will figure it out.....

Where to now?

Days like today are days that I could very easily skip blogging. My mental state isn't where it could be, so while I would rather not write here is a simple quote...

 

"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
