HAH! Me and kota went to class tonight, tae kwon do. Our first time back in a month. We were greeted by our Master running across the floor to hug us and welcome us back! I teared up! Everyone made a point of coming over to us to say it is good to see us back, so many hugs, touches, just love! Of course our torture instructor, John, walked up to me and said, FINALLY! He works at walmart too and has been on me to come back to class. Our asst instructor even ran up to us and wanted to know where we had been. Now he is a black belt, not sure what level, and 14 years old! He loves picking on Kota but Kota was told they sure couldn't tell he hadn't been there for a month! We learned our new forms and best of all.....drum roll please........WE GOT OUR NEW BELTS!!!!! I am officially a yellow belt, Kota is an orange belt, one belt higher than me.
It felt great to be back in the class! Even the torture part, the warm ups and stretches and kicking drills. Even though I had John picking on me the whole time. It was wonderful. My, how my life has changed. I have gone from a severely shy, insecure person, to an active participant of life and all it entails! That is why I am invincible! I have come so far since July. I have lost weight, gained tons of self esteem and I have no problems being in a group. In fact, I now thrive on it! As Master Reynolds says, my ninja powers are activated!
this is soooo great Mary!!!!
