Hey all! I was reminded tonight of an important lesson I learned during my first degree test: Family First! My father in law went into the hospital Sunday with chest pains. He was fine stayed overnight and was discharged today home. About 6:30 tonight he was rushed back to the hospital by ambulance and is being readmitted. So in the crush of getting the kids where they needed to go John and I split up so he could go up the hospital to be with him mom. This plus a cold made me miss training tonight.
In 09 we had a similar circumstance with John's grandpa, and in 2011 we had this happen again with my grandma. We missed a lot of training.
I'm not testing this year so it is easier for me to prioritize not coming to class. But for those of you who are counting hours, sometimes there are going to be conflicts and things outside of your control that are going to make you miss class.
Don't sweat it! You only get to have this experience of testing for your black belt once. And that makes it pretty high the list. But you also only get one family...one grandma...one grandpa...one brother...one sister. So be sure that you strike a balance in life between your training and all of the other things that matter too.
See you all Wednesday!
