Topsy Turvy

Hello everyone my life right now has been so topsy turvy. A lot of things have been happening to me, but the one thing that remains a constant for me is kung fu. Sometime I don't appreciate as much as I should, but for the most part I'm grateful for it most of the time. I'm still enjoying kung fu that's for sure and that for me will never change. By what I mean I don't always appreciate it is that sometimes I take it for granted that I have this huge opportunity for kung fu everyday of my life, yet I don't take it all the time. Maybe right now my life is getting in the way a bit, but kung fu is a opportunity for me to re focus my mind and body. Going to kung fu is the one place I feel for sure I'm doing something right in my life. Also doing kung fu makes me feel the same way. I have some pretty big decision I have to make in my life right now mainly cause there is a huge wrench in in right now (nothing kung fu related). I admit sometime my life come into my kung fu and I really feel it in my forms. For me when I'm not doing well in life my forms tell everyone(to me it feels this way), but when my life is going well my forms tell everyone that things are going good. My emotions are directly connected to my forms, because for me forms are a way of showing who you are and what type of person you are (to a certain extent) forms are a sign of your own progress in life and your martial arts. Now of course as I say all this, this is just how forms feel for me, if anyone else feel the same then great if not then great. This is just how kung fu works for me =). Kung fu will always be my rock, because it is the one constant I have, and even and I say it the one constant I have it is also always changing for me. Kung fu for me right now is this whole new world to explore and I have yet to even touch the surface of what everything it has to offer. The biggest thing also the people that do kung fu as well. I see some of the more experienced black belts and they have so much that they have gained from kung fu, but at the same time are only a little deeper into the mystery's of kung fu then I am and they are still discovering so many things about it. Of course that little bit ahead of me is still a whole heck of  a lot, but it makes me happy knowing when I am there in kung fu for longer period I will still have the same look of amazement on my face that a white belt might have when first starting kung fu. It may be more advance by then but I know it will still be there. You know even as I typed this all out I smiled. Well that's all I have for now remember stay extraordinary.
