Yesterday I was doing my grocery shopping as I usually do Saturday mornings, and when I stopped in one store I found something I haven’t seen in at least a couple years: chestnuts. Like pumpkin pie, chestnuts typically only come around once a year. Sadly, they are getting harder and harder to find.
Although it’s been more than a week since the martial arts clinic ended, it continues to have a profound effect on my life. Especially the Huna 1 class. Since then, my interest in metaphysical subjects has re-awakened. Life is improving for me, and I’m feel more like myself than I have in a while. I’m calmer at work too. I have the Huna 1 class to thank for it.
Well, this year’s martial arts clinic came and went, ending Sunday. The verdict is still out whether the clinic was the best one yet though. Because of my injured wrist, I concentrated on healing classes this year, not getting on the mat until the last day, and only for a couple of baguazhang classes. Also, I spent most of the first 2 days in a Huna 1 class. I learned this year that I have a lot more internal work that I need to do than I thought. And it only took blowing my third yearly goal to figure it out.
I’ve been looking at things lately, and there’s something about which I’m unhappy. Well, rather than turn this into a rant, I’m going to do something about it. You see, lately I’ve been checking my email more often, about once an hour while I’m home or at work. I don’t get that many emails, only a couple people email me with any regularity. But it begs the question - what did I do before email, and why do I check it so often?
After a chance encounter with a stranger who told him say yes more, Danny Wallace decided to do just that. The result of his experiment was published in a book aptly titled ‘Yes Man’. His quest for several months was to answer every question or invitation that could be answered with yes or no as yes. It resulted in quite a journey.
Lately I’ve been pretty irritable, and admittedly, on some days, I’ve been down right bitchy. I look at the things that have become normal, or the status quo for my life, and I’m unhappy about quite a bit of it. Yeah, there’s a rant coming, because I just need to get this off my chest.
