Another one down

I really enjoyed the Pandamonium this past weekend, although it seemed quieter than past years. However it was full of friends, lion and dragon dances, food, good conversation, a celebration of 30 years in Stony Plain, and of course, lots of Kung Fu!

We had representatives from 3 of our charities: Northern Lights Wolf Centre, Children's Ability Fund, and SCARS. It was great to have them there again this year and it helps to keep us present with our training. Everyday we learn empathy and compassion through our Kung Fu training. We learn to walk in peace and harmony in the world around us. We change the world.

This past weekend was nice to unwind and get some things done at home. I came to a realization though that I am not cut out to be an avid gardener, at least not yet anyway. I am good with just sticking to potted plants and not traditional gardens. Why you ask?

Well, it's embarrassing but it is what it is. I cannot handle what lives in the soil. I I understand their role and respect them, but I get seriously icked out as soon as the worms, beetles, spiders, and other like things are suddenly in front of me. I have a lot of respect for those people that have no issues with the garden inhabitants. I applaud you!

What does this have to do with Kung Fu? It's that Kung Fu has given me the ability to recognize my weaknesses and gives me strength to improve on them. I will always have something to work on, and it isn't always just physical. My mental game completely affects my physical game. And sometimes it's the opposite.

And on that note, I planted the garden. I pushed through and saw it to the end. And man did that feel good.

Well, so far

Well, right now, I feel like I am so far behind that I might be moving forwards. I didn't blog last week, and was close to missing this week. I also am way behind on reading blogs, which I am currently catching up on. Slowly.

The month of May has come so fast, I don't feel like I am ready. But what do we do when that happens? We dive right in! Here's to being kind. This month, and always.
