Find that happy thought

So you know how you start out on a Monday, you're up before the sun, you have to go to work (or school), and then you get behind the slowest guy on the road. They moved you to the bleakest part of the building at work during a building remodel (for six months) and your spouse (or boyfriend/girlfriend) is all cranky because they got their cold from you (oops!)... Aahh, Mondays!

So I threw myself a pity party... All the way down to wondering why I do martial arts when I can barely walk a straight line sometimes, let alone do combination kicks of whichever sort. But then the reality of it all surfaced: I (any of us) can go to class, everyone's glad to see each other, we talk about things we need to work on and what stresses us.... No one is waiting for the dishes to be done, or the kitty litter to be changed, or in some cases, for homework to be done. When we're in class, we're pushing each other to do our best, and we can still come out class smiling, for the most part. We ALL have bad days or 'off' days, but I really enjoy being around everyone at Aim High. That's what makes me push myself... I still feel the frustration of not being a "natural" at all this, but it's the people I train with that make it all worthwhile. I pushed myself to run the 3 miles this past Saturday for the people I train with, not for me. If I were doing it for me, let's face it, I'd be back home in bed. Thank you, DTD team for taking away my option to sleep in... You're more fun. ;)
