One Year

One year,
Five Ten Tigers members
84 private lessons taught, (I still owe 2 for Dean)
35,000 pushups and situps
750 forms repetitions
25 hours of sparring
750 cardio rounds
350 miles
60 hours in stance
365 random acts of kindness
Kayaking, Tae Kwon Do, South Mantis, pinching nerves, poking each other with sticks, installing a latrine/outhouse, Crane/Snake. . .
Bonsai beginnings
Read the Tao te Ch'ing, books by Tolle and Thich Naht Hahn
Competed in a tournament
Wrote, wrote, wrote.

It seems like so little now, it seemed like so much one year ago.

    Those two remaining private lessons are probably well placed since testing day is coming up soon. Seems like a very fine finale for the program's first year.
