Feeling Some Empathy Out There Somewhere.....
For others out there...I feel your pain about trying to figure what I want to do versus what others believe is right for me.
The weekend was good to me in Panama City Beach. Went down for the Winter Camp training session, worked hard on the beach and in the water (yes, in February, when it's around forty or fifty-something degrees). My arms and calves are sore from training in the sand, but there's nothing like staring out at crystal blue water while you're doing breathing exercises, strikes, kicks, katas, & weapons.
It was inspirational.
We stomped, punched, and did spear hand strikes into the sand. We drank & partied, and I received just a little more insight into this great organization. I definitely want to be here for the next ten years, regardless of the impact it has elsewhere in my life. Maybe here I can find peace.
That's all I really want.
*sigh*
I have to go rest and sort out tomorrow's plan. Training has to be accelerated now (stepping up the tempo yet again), everything else takes a back seat. I'll still begin my Masters classes next month, but now I'm in no hurry. What's the phrase? "I'm pacing myself." And the best part of it all, I now have a way to channel all of this rage. To enter the ring at the Kumite you have to be pissed off. Somehow, I don't think I'll have a problem...
No. No problem at all.
Gods, I love a challenge.
