Time for an update...
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year....I had to work, but it was'nt so bad. I did'nt really miss out on anything....I've never even been to a New Year's Eve party anyway, so I don't know what I'm missing. Hehe.
Time for the big news...last night, in my Kenpo Karate class, I got my Yellow Belt!
I know that may not be big news to some, but for me it really is. It means I've stuck it out. I have'nt given up on it like so many other things I've wanted to do but quit doing for one reason or another. We basically automatically get a White Belt just for signing up for the class and showing up, but that Yellow Belt is the first one I EARNED! It means I have achieved something! That Yellow Belt symbolizes that I can do anything I set my mind to.
And my goal is to go all the way to Black Belt! My Sensei says it will take about three years...but I'm not going anywhere.
Also, as I mentioned in an earlier post where I first mentioned taking the class, on achieving Yellow Belt we were to chose an animal to represent ourselves and which would also be our title...and I've chosen mine. "The Bear" I think it suits me well enough. Large. Strong. A general gentle nature. Not easily angered, but dangerous when made so. Dangerous to underestimate. And of course, Cuddly!
This is a huge step in ending my procrastinatory nature. I think this will be the start of many things I've procrastinated about. We'll see.
That's all I have for now
Later my friends.

Many congratulations, Khorsaun. I'm sure you can continue to work on accomplishing the things you've put off. Everyone just needs a catalyst. Keep the ball rolling. Begin tomorrow.
