Learning..

Lots of stuff buzzing around in the brain; sometimes I need just to get it down on paper(or whatever) before it will all make some sort of sense. If you've ever seen the comedian that compares mens brains to womens brains--men think in boxes, one at a time, women its like a mess of interconnected wires--you'd know this is pretty close to the truth. Sean once asked me what I was thinking, and for fun I told him exactly everything--now he's learned to ask just for the top 3:)
So with that in mind.....
Master Brinker talked in the UBBT meeting about how many perfectionists there seem to be training sometimes....I am one! I have a real hard time asking for help (even though I need it), and seem to labor under the impression I am meant to struggle on alone. Don't ask me why.
Trying to teach my kids to be in charge of their own health, diet, and destiny without my continued reminders--yeah, thats gonna take a while.....
Love how we're trying a new way of training in the morning class--being responsible for our own training by deciding what to work on and approaching the instructor rather than him trying to herd us all in a multitude of directions. (hopefully we're better at it then my kids...)
Struggling with an injury(although I'm not sure how I got it) to leg muscles and getting annoyed that its taking its sweet time to go away
Struggling with the idea of Sanshou class--want to to get better, but scared to death
Enjoying the fall, time with my kids and Sean, especially on sundays when time to relax and just BE is there. Love it.
Reading about marriage this time, and how it too is a struggle for mastery--of ourselves, if its to be successful. Sounds like kung fu again...
And most importantly, pondering WHY  dogs have to find carpet when they have accidents as I spend my evening shampooing carpet and deciding whether or not he lives or dies. Whoo hoo.
