i'll be back.
i haven't hit the dojo for almost 2 months. shocking, i know, especially considering what a huge part of my life is (was?) karate. part of the reason was the newly varnished floor, so that was an easy decision. the other part, though, was a little tougher to face. i had lost my reason for being there. i was teaching all the time, which i like to do, but i was never training. if i got the opportunity to train, i was out of shape and out of practice, and it didn't feel right. so next time 'round, i would default to teaching. i had no goal, no test to train to or competition to ramp up for. i was kinda stuck.
but... my bag's in my car, my head's heading in the right direction (i think), and i'll be back there tomorrow. wish me luck.
current mood: let's see how this goes
