Little Oasis

 I had a really good week. In fact, as I was driving home to Lethbridge yesterday, I had one of the biggest feelings of "I really do not want to go back" that I have ever had, and I believe this can be credited towards Kung Fu.

As some of you may already know, I had the privilege of being able to attend nearly every single class in the last week, which is something I have not done for at least five years. In fact, I do not think I would be exaggerating if I said that I spent more time on the mats in the last week than I have in the last 12 months. Putting aside the progress I made on my forms, simply being present also did wonders for my motivation and mental state. 

Spending several hours on the mats throughout the week is something that, five years ago, was a norm for me. Now, it is akin to an oasis; few and far between and something of a blessing. This serves as another little reminder for me not to take things for granted. Now, as I have left my little oasis, I have my eyes set on the next one, as far away as it may be.


P.S.

With February coming to an end, the first Saturday of March will be here soon, which means the first Monthly Mini Challenge! I had originally intended to make a regular post, but with the new format on WhatsApp, I am not quite sure how to go about putting these out. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

  4. You have a real knack for reaching children Simon. The classes you helped lead in the Young Dragon program were fantastic (from what I have been told). We're gonna miss you being around.
