Down Time

My Saturday this weekend was a whole lot of nothing which, for me, is a very foreign concept. I was able to do my morning exercises, then cooked a light brunch, then basically lounged around the rest of the day. As a very active person, this was mentally difficult but physically needed, I think. Rest […]

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Yesterday I had my wisdom teeth removed. Still recovering for now, should be back to mostly normal in the coming days. I. had three wisdom teeth removed, lower left, upper left, and upper right. My lower right wisdom tooth was removed about 3 years ago so I could get braces. Unfortunately, the oral surgeon wouldn’t […]

Learning Patience

We have always been told that patience is a virtue throughout our lives. I have always had a difficult time with this. It has always been hard for me to “wait patiently” for anything. I am the type of person that wants to get things done right away or change the situation so that it […]

Kindness

This week I made some food for Sensei Warren.  He is taking care of his wife full time.  He is a model example of what you do for the people you love when they need you the most.  I made some homemade blueberry muffins, some turkey burgers, salmon burgers, and fresh cooked broccoli and zucchini.

For this occasion, I picked something that I have done many times before but wanted to make it special. The medical assistants I work with LOVE the scones from Coffee […]

Crunch Time

We are about to be in the last 3 months (the final 25%) of our black belt trial and I am really starting to feel the pressure. I have just started really ramping up my numbers in push ups, sit ups, and kumite. For the sparring portion, I have been coming in on the weekends […]

One Task Accomplished

This week I finished one of my black belt challenge goals.  I have reached 1,000 miles.  I cannot express how flabbergasted, excited, and happy I am in words.  When I first started the black belt challenge I did not know if I could do any of the challenges.  I just decided I would try everyday […]
