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.

Glad you planted the garden ... its good for the soul to touch / interact with the earth and its inhabitants, even the icky ones. Spiders are my nemisis
