Almost exactly one year ago I made a commitment to myself to write in this Tai Chi Instructor's Blog at least once a week in an effort to delve deeper into my own training as well as provide a written reference for interested Tai Chi students. All things considered, I have felt good about what I have been able to accomplish so far.
Fast forward to today and 3 weeks have past with no blog entires. I can not help but feel a bit sad that LIFE has gotten in the way. I can use our son Kamin's Bar Mitzvah, two volunteer workshops at the Baylor Sammons Cancer Center, being a daddy and husband, Cub and Boy Scout responsibilities, Fayne's Grandmother passing away (and her being gone for 9 days) all to help me feel better about the 3 week involuntary hiatus from the blog. Sure all this would help me shore up my ego and help me feel less like a failure at this endeavor, however, I am choosing to move a little closer to the teachings of the Dao and just accept that for the past 3 weeks other matters took priority in my LIFE.
I came up with an Acronym to help me with this concept:
L - Limitless
I - Interruptions
F - From
E - Everywhere
LIFE Happens... It is how you choose to deal with the twists and turns that makes the difference between stress and tranquility.Next week I am looking forward to starting my second year of the Tai Chi Instructor's Blog. I hope you will join me.
