blackout

I'll start with an update on my needles. She had to poke me twice and I was fine for both so Yay! fear conquered once and for all. Last night at work we experienced a power outage and we were forced to stay in the lunch room for 1hour and 30 min. I got restless and started doing my forms and I could not believe the amount of energy I had. My knee was fine and I went through them all a couple more times to make sure It  wasn't a fluke but sure enough I did great. My thoughts on this development is that I give my work 100% o myself with no slacking. When we were faced with no work for a period of time I found myself at a loss of things to do. It felt great and I didn't know I was being so selective with my energies that I gave everything to my work and little to my kung fu. This is one of those Ah ha moments I had with myself. I really need to look at my energies and start applying them in a better manner. Work is fine but my kung fu means just as much to me and I have to take the steps to change my attitude towards my practice. I can practice more to regain the mobility I enjoyed at my peak in training. tonight's blackout showed me I am just fine to do all my reps and still put in a nights work. So time to get off my back side and get back into training. I just got Sifu Becketts video of her sword form so I will endeavor to learn and start up with my reps again. After all I can still finish stronger than I've been all year. Thanks team for always being there. Sifu Jeannette Langner
