It's been a long year and Kung fu has not been a high priority, I think I blogged about that a while ago.
I thought I'd be able to attend I Ho Chaun classes in the summer. Normally, I could step out for an hour because supper period is longer and not as intense as the other seasons. However that didn't happen, my uncle who has been with me for 18 years left in May to help his son and daughter in law who started a restaurant in Edmonton. So my ability to step out just disappeared.
Now I'm short two people in the kitchen as my cousin just left for China last Sunday to get married and won't be back for 3 months. My other uncle will be leaving for China in November for a couple of months. That's not going to be fun for me.
I'm now juggling multiple shifts at the Restaurant, the Mayorship, and my family. I can not commit to making Kung Fu a higher priority in my life.
The skills that I've learnt from trying to achieve mastery in Kung fu is serving me well in other areas of my life.
I'm not a great father or husband but I'm doing my best and one day I'll get closer to mastery in those aspects.
As well, it translate very well to my role a Mayor. I don't think I would be doing this without the things I've learnt as part of the I Ho Chaun team the past two years.
I'm sorry to my teammates, I haven't been there to support you guys. Before everything practice, demo or event you guys are already a man short. In spite of my failure to be part of the team you guys excelled. Thank you for making the school look good.
I don't foresee my priorities changing anytime soon. I will stay as connected as I can. http://wchoy74.blogspot.ca/2013/09/where-im-at.html?m=1
