Everything is Awesome!

I had a major breakthrough before classes Friday, and I was so excited I hugged Sifu Kichko for helping me get there. For years I've hated my right leg front thrust kick. It never felt like there was any power, it never felt as good as my left and it sucked. It seemed like no matter what I did, it never improved, I just got more and more aware of how bad it was without an answer as to why. Then a few of us had a discussion about the pivot of the base foot. I wasn't thinking anything of it until I threw a few. That was it! So simple! I wasn't pivoting and therefore my hip was not behind the kick. I finally figured out what I should have noticed ten years ago.

See? It just goes to show you that you can always learn something and always improve on the most basic of things. I was taught that kick over 20 years ago and figured out something about it just last week. That. Is. Awesome.

I'm also happy that I finally decided to join my teammates who are posting their numbers daily. I've definitely had moments where I've thought to myself why the @#** did I start that? But I always feel happy after I post and can see my number for the day. Something, no matter how much or little, feels better than nothing. And that is awesome too.

Lastly, my ma and I had a spa day today. Nick bought me a gift certificate to a spa for my b-day, and I took my mother along for her b-day. A day filled with pampering and relaxing with my momma. That too is so awesome. So awesome.

Just to annoy you guys..
Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you're part of a team! Everything is awesome! When you're living your dream!
If you haven't seen the movie, you really, really should.
