So I find myself with no real direction for this blog. My mind is being divided by many pressing matters that need my attention.
Foremost is making sure my son Kody is ready both physically and mentally to re-enter school next Monday. He is going into grade 10 at the Comp in Spruce and I find myself preoccupied with a mountain of what ifs. I know an awful lot of what will happen is totally out of my control so I am trying to focus on what I ( and he ) can control.
Thankfully Kody has a good head on his shoulders and that takes a lot of the stress out of it. And for this I would like to thank Silent River Kung Fu. Him Being around educated, thoughtful, mindful, and caring people has helped him look at life logically and with a fairly high degree of preparedness. As well as the physical training has kept him healthy both in body and mind. From Sifu Csillig making sure we hand sanitize both before and after class, to learning to keep our social distance in class, to Master Brinker's talks with the class with about the reality of the situation we are in, temperature checks at the door, learning to use online learning as a training tool (Zoom), the list goes on and on and it has all helped him be more prepared that probably 90% of the rest of the population. He will be a leader in calmness, respect and thoughtfulness at school and I can only hope other students follow his example. And this helps me immensely. Thank you to both the Silent River Kung Fu students and Sifus and to the art of Kung Fu itself for the advantage it gives him in life.
