Boot Camp

First of all I must say that I am not going to count my vacation days anymore, there may be some negative responses due to there being so many of them. So, I am on vacation until I am not.
Boot Camp.....
What a great day!
As I was driving out to Keephills, I started to relax as soon as I got off the highway and things started to slow down (except the crazy driver but he was going so fast that he wasn't in my world for long !)
Walking meditation was fabulous once I accepted that there was no talking! Every time I saw something cool, I wanted to share with my friends, it's what I do! The walk was very calming and relaxing, I endeavor to do more walking meditation (not just warp speed walking).
Moving meditation was also grand. I love all movement that involves my chi and sharing that passion with others is a rush.
I left to go and help with the lil leopards class and that was fun, helping them figure out relay racing is always very entertaining :)
Being a black belt at boot camp is so cool, not only do you get to participate but you get to hang out with a bunch of cool black belt and students that take this journey on in a similar manner to you. It is inspiring to watch the students push themselves to their limits, have a rest and push themselves some more. It is also cool to continue to learn more about the art and myself each time I attend.
There was much story telling ( I love it!) and lot's of laughs (not just at me!!!) and tons of bonding, it was an amazing day!
