Connecting With The Kwoon

I am sorry that I will be missing the Kwoon maintanence week again this year. This is a great chance to get to know the people of Silent River Kung Fu out of class in a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. You will feel a real connection with the Kwoon after and you really will enjoy being a part of it. There is no judging, no pressure and you might be suprised and discover a hidden talent or maybe you can yuse your talent. I am not trying to put an ad out for the maintanence week but trying to emphazize how thios will change the way you feel about the Kwoon. It truly does make it feel more like yours and not just a school. Anyway thats what i have to say about that. Dont forget about the awesome potatoe bake after. That is the highlight of the week.

What I Have.

I am looking ahead at my schedule and am disappointed at what I see. If things stay the way they are, I will be away at work for Christmas and New Year's. I am also scheduled to be away from February 2nd to 23rd which means I will not be around for Chinese New Years as it currently stands. If you look at it a certain way, this has been the year of misses. These are the major events I have been away at work for this year. 1) My son's birthday. 2) My birthday. 3) My anniversary. 4) My wife's birthday. This may seem to be not a great situation but it isn't. I am happy to still be working and when I am home, I have more free time than if I was working locally. You also realize what you do miss and that gives you a greater appreciation for what you do have at home. Life is not easy and there are different struggles we all need to deal with but there is no point in being angry at your situation because ultimately it is you who is in control. Just need to figure out how to change my schedule to be at home for Christmas and hopefully the banquet.

Performing In Public

I am back at work now but the time at home was great. I was able to accomplish a lot and also got to enjoy a camping trip. The highlight of the time at home has to be the demo we did for the seniors. It was great to finally be able to test out my form in public as it forced me to really focus on it. Performing in public is the best thing I find for analyzing where you are at. I know that I am still not proficient with the sequence as I forgot some parts. Nevertheless, it was a great day and I now know what I need to focus on.

Vacation

I am enjoying it some time away with family on the banks of the Red Deer River. It has been a whirlwind since I got home with the main focus being getting the renovations at the old Tanarama bay completed. I know that if it wasn’t for everyone who volunteered some of there time, it would not have been completed. It was a lot of fun and something I truly enjoy doing. See you all in about a week.
