Blogging has value

I think that I want to write about my journey, but I am not exactly sure what that is going to look like. Kung Fu has changed my life so much, that I don't know where to begin to talk about it. I guess I can start at the beginning. In 2003, I attended my first Chinese New Year and Black Belt Ceremony and I was blown away by the stories that I heard. I was so moved by the one journey that I heard that I leaned over and whispered to my husband, one day, I would like to do something like that. At first, it didn't seem possible and there seemed to be many obstacles in my way and it seemed like one of those dreams that you take out every once in while and sigh about. One day, I learned that there was a way around some of the obstacles and there were people willing to help me over the others. When I look back over the past five years, some of the obstacles that seemed so challenging at the time, now appear to have been easy. I just needed to push myself. For example, getting up at 7:00 am for the morning class after working until 11:00 pm the night before. At times it seemed impossible, now it is just part of what I do because I love Kung Fu.
I am sure that I have many more obstacles to face but I am confident that I can find a way around them and that I have the supports in place to help me.

This was my very first blog ever! Mar.01,2008!!! I can't believe that it has been more than five years, that is a lot of blogs. I didn't really see the value when I first started but I trusted my instructors so I tried it. It turns out that I don't mind blogging at all, I kinda like it. Every Sunday, no matter how tired  I am, I sit down and write about what is most prevalent in my mind. It is not always Kung Fu, but is definitely Kung fu related. On this path towards mastery, everything has value, it is the only way!
