In no Particular Order

I have several thoughts floating around in my head. Even a couple of blogs I drafted but after I read them they quite clearly would only make sense to me. So, I will post them once I refine what I am trying to say, but, in the meantime this is my random, incomplete, and in no particular order, kind of thoughts.

• Going on holidays this Sunday, we are going to Maui, excited and not excited. Seems I am thinking about the stuff that won’t get done while I am gone and uncomfortable and guilty about taking holidays in a part of the world that is close to another country that is in a disastrous state


• Kung fu in the house!, Raymond joined kids classes this month and he is pumped, he wants to sign up for the tournament and talks about his kung fu stuff all the time. What a difference a few classes have made. The Instructors for the Tiny Tigers are fantastic! I have the greatest admiration for them.


• Personal purpose in my training. Do I have it or not. I thought I did but its very focused and perhaps to narrow a scope . I might be restricting myself too much and missing out on other opportunities.


• Hope Sifu Shipalesky is doing well on her road to recovery, she is always a source of common sense comfort when I talk to her.


• Global stress – I think between the dreary weather and the constant feed of global distress, in the environment, in the Middle East and in our economy it puts a weight on everyone’s disposition. No longer can we ignore the neighbours. (if we did before)It truly is a global community. One neighbours tragedy and one neighbours despair is everyone’s problem on the block. You are a fool to think otherwise.
