One common theme that seems to be recurring over the past few weeks is the idea of being thankful and humble for what we have. Injuries that I have sustained are a painful and acute reminder that, although I have worked hard over years to be where I am at in the present, it can all be taken away in one fell swoop. I'm back to training hard, but my back and elbow injuries are constant reminders to be thankful and humble for what I have accomplished. These injuries are also reminders to not slack off, and to not take any talent, skill, or experience for granted. Negative situations and experiences that have occurred in the past few weeks are also reminders to be constantly aware of and thankful for what I have in life. Again, one thing that has been hammered into my mind is to never take something for granted, lest it withers away into a distant and painful memory.
That's all I have to say for right now, but I have a funny feeling that another blog post will be following quite soon.
