SBN Terri : Don't spend your time stressing over what you have no control over!

I was telling a friend about our amazing experience exploring Moaning Cavern last weekend.  I did admit to her that when I was in some of those tight spaces, squeezing through; the thought of how much earth was on top of me, and how vulnerable I was, would try to invade my mind.  But, I pushed those thoughts away.  There was no point in worrying about it.

My friend was so impressed with that, she was going to write it down.  She saw how that could be applied to many things in life.  We get so wound up, stressing over the "what if's".  And so often these are things we have absolutely no control over.  

I've been thinking a lot about martial arts, why I'm here, what it means to me, why I continue to train - at least try given my physical limitations right now.  When I started, I never dreamed I'd still be doing this after 19 years.  More to come on these thoughts!!

I've been continuing physical therapy, doing push ups, riding my bike.  I'm thrilled to be working more with Virgil on kali.  I may not be able to do much kicking or rolling, but develop more skills with knives, sticks and gun disarms.

If the earth shifted, well, I wouldn't have to think about it very long.
