Happy New Year and welcome Snake team!
So here we are, less than a week away till banquet day and I
am filled with both anxiety and excitement.
As the team has been spending extra time in training and preparing,
there always seems to be the extra injuries and illnesses around to complicate
things. Friday I started with an irritating cough which I blamed on the dust
bunnies, however, I think it may be the start of one of the many bugs floating
around these days (feeling kind of crumby).
Hope it’s a short one!
So starts a new chapter; the year of the Snake, one with new
responsibilities, challenges and goals. I’m
trying to prepare myself for the adjustment of starting a new year and focusing
and working towards what it has in store for me. However, I think until next Saturday is over its not going to quite feel like a New Year has begun. I hear different body parts yelling at me to
let them rest and heal but I’m a little scared that slowing down might actually
get kind of comfortable. I have seen
faces come and go over the years and I have no intention of being
one of them. I want
to stay with a forward momentum, and believe that staying on the team is the
motivation that can help keep me engaged and moving in the right direction. Why would I want to abandon something that has given me so much? I want to continue
to learn and grow, not only in my kung fu but in every other area of my
life. So, I look forward to a new year,
a little less pressure of deadlines, a new team and definitely spending more
time with my family!
