No time.

Kwoon renovations are set to start next week and I feel like I'm letting the school down this year. Let me explain. I was one of those people who looked at the renovations as something I didn't need to take Parton. How would this help my Kung Fu? I didn't see a purpose to it or a need to participate. Once I became more involved with the Kwoon (through lion dancing), the topic of renos came up. Since I had tiled before,I volunteered to tile the Kwoon. That was two years ago. Last year was another major renovation followed by the expansion in the spring. Why would input some much effort into something I didn't even take part in for some many years? Because it has hada huge impact on my training. By putting some blood and sweat into the place where you learn, you feel more comfortable there. Now the problem. This year I am notable to committ as much time as I have over the last two years. There is a lot of work that needs to be completed this year and I don't know if it will be completed. I don't mean to say that the other people who volunteer are not just as crucial to the success of the renovations because they are more important. Without them, nothing would be completed. I feel responsible because the scope of work and the amount of work is something that I said could be done. That is where the feeling of guilt is coming in. Hopefully some of you reading this understand where I am coming from and the point of this rambling. The work has defined me as a martial artist and I think improved me as a person.

Where have I Gone?

That is an interesting question and one I don't have the answer to. Since I completed my first UBBT, I have not blogged. Why not is the question I should have been asking myself. I also think my peers should have been asking me as well. Blogging helped me get through a lot of stressful situations. It is a resource that I have not been utilizing lately and really wish I would have. Your blog is a way to connect with your peers and to keep people informed on what is happening with you. I am writing this down as a reminder to myself so if I ever forget to or am not inspired to blog, I can read this post to know why I should
