I hope you are having a wonderful time on vacation with your family. I am sorry to hear about your injury. Keep on resting it so it will heal soon. I look forward to seeing you back in the dojo when you can come back. Modify like I do so you can continue to train. See you soon.

I know about injuries. I just pulled a muscle in my back which hurts a lot. It makes doing pushups, crunches, and kata very challenging. My ankle is still swollen. I feel the pressure as we get closer. As you say we can only do our best. Take it easy. Rest, ice, and elevate your knee. I hope it heals quickly. I think it will because you are healthy. Have a great trip if I don’t see you before you leave.

Rest days are important. I am glad you are making time for them. It keeps us healthy.

You are right about patience being difficult to learn. Keep on working towards the goal and enjoy the journey to get there. There are three months left. It will be here very soon.
