As of this morning, I have seven unidentified bruises on my legs, two seriously swollen hands, and various unidentified cuts and other abrasions. I think my first couple days have been a success.
I'm not judging this based on my wounds. I'm happy because I know that the aches I feel are only making me stronger, faster and more flexible. I earned the swollen knuckles, and can proudly say the boards broke when asked about them. The knuckles only swelled because of a bad angle on the first break. But did that stop me? Ha!
It has been little over two week since I first learned Danielle's matirx scene with Jesse, and already I feel an increase in ease and proficiency. I can just imagine what we could do if we increased the time given to these specific tasks. If something feels that much better after only a couple weeks, imagine what it could be like after a couple of months, or a couple of years. I joined Kung-Fu when I was nine (correct me if I'm wrong, Master Brinker) and I shudder at the wasted time. Imagine what I could do now if I had only practiced an extra five or ten minutes a day. That would have been an extra 60 hrs 48 min a year. I would have another 912 hrs 30 min under my belt. I could have been awesome!!!
So I say, okay. I admit I'm still young. If I start now, I will have made up for those lost 912 hrs in fifteen years. No time like the present.
Sorry, I gotta go. I have things to do.

If you started when you were nine then that would make you about eleven now right? Yikes, time goes by quickly, no?
You are right on target now Khona, keep it up. A couple months of consistent action is going to amount to a lifestyle change that will become easier to maintain than it is to initiate. I'll be drawing a lot of strength from your journey and will be not so silently cheering you on.
