No one said it would be easy
Friday, October 26, 2012
I don't know where to begin. I have left this blog linger far too long and it became an albatross around my neck. Kung Fu has been a big part of my life and who I am that leaving it behind had a huge impact on my view of who I am and what I have become, I read your chatter on the my emails and feel so detached from everything. I miss being a part of everything and everyone. Every day I ask myself "how can I reconnect with you all and how can I inspire myself to continue." Silent River is made up with great people. The building is just a reflection of how you all feel. Like a church is just a building without it's congregation, I think the same applies to Silent River. So my big question is "is any body listening and if you are throw me a life line please." I watch a lot of classes on the web cam but something is always missing. The interaction between us and the connection with each other.This is really hard. I have been trying to practice on my own and with no feedback or someone beside me, well it's hard. I was doing a lot of walking, but even that has become limited. Randy is back on the road again and I do not feel safe leaving Lacey in the house alone while I'm out. I am home schooling her this term so where I go she goes except she doesn't like walking. I know I have to get out and do something. We just moved into a golf course community. so I am going to gather my courage and see what they have to offer. Golf.... well I'll never know unless I try. I imagine they will have something to start with, something Lacey and I can do together. There is miles oops, kilometers of paved trails to bike ride on and I know my dog needs the exercise, not me of course, ha ha. or swimming although the water is a bit cool now, but once I get going it warms up. So I guess I do know where to start I just need to push myself once again out of my comfort zone. It will have to be next week though Lacey is down with the flu/cold this week and doesn't have the energy to leave the house. I know excuses excuses. I made a promise to myself as soon as she's well I will try something with the golf course. Wish me luck P.S. I so do not miss the SNOW !!

So glad to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteRaymond hates walking too. The only way I use the trails is to lightly jog while he uses his scooter or bike.
Are there any kids martial arts classes around you?How about beginner paddle boarding(family style).
Just throwin some ideas out, but more important, happy to hear you guys are doing well!

Hi Sifu,
ReplyDeleteA couple years ago I was trying the video classes as well while at work in Grande Prairie. It is very difficult, as a person really doesn't realize the importance of the human interaction element of the Kwoon, especially Silent River. It is very good to here from you, and I have a couple inches of snow in Drumheller that you are welcome to have!
Hi there! I don't have any wonderful ideas to help, as I haven't been away like you have. I was in Hinton for some time, but was able to come back and train every weekend, so it is not the same. The fact that you are keeping track of the goings on through the computer is great, and something you must keep doing.
ReplyDeleteI promise to email you more often. You will be back with us one day. :) Smiles to you.
