Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero

   So summer is finally here. Everything is green and flowering. The sky is blue, the sun is warm, the birds are singing, so now what? It seems like it took forever to get here and now that it is here, time for me to take stock as to where I am, what I am doing and what I need to get done before winter gets here (sorry for using the W word). The day's light is already getting shorter, the time available is already ebbing away. I have 6 major projects I want to get done this summer in our yard/house, I have completed 1. I know that getting all 6 done will be a major undertaking, both of money and time, but if I don't set a goal, how will I ever know if  I am accomplishing anything? Life always seems to redirect my path/plan but that is okay, the alternative is no life. I'll take life and all it's squiggly, messy, chaotic, random, unpredictable, annoying or entertaining bumps it chooses to throw my way. Bring it on life, I'm ready.
   This also applies to my Kung Fu. Our classes can be unpredictable, one day forms, next day grappling, next day fitness, next day sparring ( I miss sparring ), etc..... Am I complaining? H#$L NO! I love the variety, the randomness, the spontaneousness ( new word of my day, made it up just now ). I know the classes are way too short and there is sooooo much to try and squeeze in the short amount of time we have together, So I/we must turn on our inner super sponge/outer superman/superwoman  and  try to grab as much "class" time as we can. I have missed far to many open trainings on Saturdays lately, time to change that. Like summer, our/my time at kung fu/life is finite, it will run out eventually. I/we must take advantage of every chance, every moment, ever opportunity we can.
