Sick week
Its been an interesting couple of weeks; first, my car went in the shop for a couple of days, so I had to ride my bike to work. No problem, I thought, done the Stony-Spruce run before, had to miss my tues class but was still getting exercise. Majorly! That was the day it rained...and had a 30km head wind....totally sucked! Then I had a medical test on Fri that I started prepping for on wed that was a couple days of fasting and a bunch of fun stuff to make the bathroom your best friend. (Or your next reno project since there was lots of time to look and think about it.) And its taken me a few days to recover, so all in all, I missed a weeks worth of classes. (plus one) and had to scale way back on my activities. I have to admit, I liked it. I've had to do alot of other stuff--working on meditation, catching up on other things I like to do, taking care of myself. I'm realizing my life is very skewed towards achieving for kungfu--but its not serving me well. I'm not enjoying myself, I'm stressing over things. Its about the numbers and what else can I cram in.I need balance. As I step back into classes, I will be curtailing, thinking and searching...and taking the time to smell some lilacs.
