Excited and Disappointed

I am excited that we are ramping up the Lion Dance practices to every Friday in preparation for our Chinese New Year Celebration and this year is going to be one that a person does not want to miss. In the past preparing for our celebration has been one of the biggest most memorable aspects that I have been privileged to be part of. But this year I am a little disappointed, not with the practices or the amount of effort that will have to be put into preparing for this year’s Lion Dance. What I am disappointed about is that this year I will have to miss watching most of my son’s home games in his first year of Midget Hockey; I had thought I might be able to watch him play at some of the home games on the odd Fridays of each month.
But that is just not how things worked out, and I understand the importance of committed, consistent practice with the same people involved in then dance is the only way that we as a team will be successful. So I stay excited and committed but disappointed.

Where am I? What am I doing?
