A Year older..

Well birthday time over, both for me (17th) and  my son (18th), and now getting back into things.  A year older, but wiser?  Well possibly a little, but the more you learn the more you realise there is to learn.  It's not possible to learn everything, and show me someone who says they know everything, I will show you a fool.

I haven't stopped doing Kata and stretches as a part of generally trying to get fitter, but the cold I caught is being a little devil and just doesn't want to shift.  So I'm still a little wheezy and short of breath.  Nontheless, got to start going through my kicks blocks and punches and revisiting the basics, especially if I want to grade later this month.

All that said, when I reflect on the last year, I think personally I've come a long way.  I definitely feel better in my self and more able to cope with what life throws at me, but there have been and will be challenging moments on many levels and I will just have to do my best.  But again, I think my best is better now than it was a year ago.  

A big chunk of that is down to getting fitter, learning new things and making new friends through Karate, I still have a long way to go (hopefully continuing my journey), but thank you all in the dojo and other friends made through Karate, and a big thank you to my son, for helping me get as far as I have. 😊😊😊
