Hello everyone out there in Blogland. It's been a bit since my last post so I felt that I should jump on and tell people what is going on. Things have been going well. Work has been challenging, but interesting. I am working on some stuff that I have never been exposed to before so I am learning a lot. I equate learning at my job to taking a drink of water from a Fire Hose. You get the picture.
The family is good. We had a good family day on Good Friday and I got to see the baby boy interact at his music class. he is definitely the class clown. All of the other kids actually sat and tried to participate in sing-a-long, but not our son. I don't think he stopped moving for the entire class, talking and jabbering to us and himself the whole time. If you have not seen Phillip jabber yet, it is a must see. I'll see about posting a video of him doing it later on. We then spent the rest of the weekend visiting my wife's family in Statesville.
As you all know I passed my advancement test the Wednesday last week. Since then I have been in limbo. I turned in my Mastery paperwork for consideration, but I have not gotten a call yet to set up my interview. I appreciate Sifu taking his time to consider candidates, but it would be cool to move into the more advanced Tai Chi class. This month they are learning 3/4 staffs, which is something that I have always wanted to try.
Practice has been good but a little painful. For some reason I have injured by left elbow last month when I started Tai Chi and the pain has not gone away. I also recently pulled my hamstring in my left leg, which makes me take it easy when we do our Pendulum kicks in the warm ups. I am starting to heal, but I feel it is going to take a while to be at full strength. Regardless of the pain, classes have been great since we moved outside. Practicing outdoors brings a different feel to the form. I just feel more connected to my surroundings and it helps me practice my focus. I tend to stray from my meditation in Universal Post by the Fire Engines, birds, and planes that offer their distractions. However I am getting better at focusing.
That is it for now. I'll be posting some other stuff in the near future. Take it easy!!
