How did I ever get here?
I'm 54 years old. I'm of Canadian/Swedish decent. I had severe Asthma as a child/young adult. I was born and raised in the Edmonton/St Albert area. I have never considered my life to extraordinary. And yet somehow I am now a Black Belt in the ancient martial art of Kung Fu. Not only that but an instructor in the kids classes in the ancient martial art of Kung Fu. This can't be real, can it? There is no world in which I ever dreamed that this is where I would be at this point in my life. I am in state of total awe.
To be surrounded by so many amazing people, to be doing what I want to do even though I never really knew this is what I actually wanted to do, I am truly amazed each and every day I wake up to this reality. I never want to take it for granted any of the truly special people in my life. My wife, my children/grandchildren, my mother and my Kung Fu family, I love you all. You mold me into the person I am, pushing me every day to be better. Thank you, never stop.
Kat, since you are always posting songs that resonate with you, here is one of my current favs that just makes me aware of being alive. It is actually a very sad song but I change it a little to make me realize all the good in my life and how I must cherish it each and every day.
Beautiful song!!
