Week in Review

 So I thought that I would end each week with a Week in Review post. In these entries I’m going to outline my training for the week and any overall observations I’ve had as I work towards discovering my dharma.

Cuddling with Brinkley is good for sore muscles

 
Observations – Gutting it Out
 
On Friday Terence and I had a great conversation. We talked about his experience as a professional fighter in the States. He talked about how he had to “gut it out” – waking up early for his runs before working hard all day at a minimum wage job only to be followed by going to evening training sessions at the boxing club. And in these evening sessions he’d have to work twice as hard having missed the morning session to go to work. He shared that it was the love of the sport that kept him going.
 
I’m so thankful that Terence is sharing stories like these with me. With each story I’m learning something. This telling made me realize again what a “lucky fucker” I am. I haven’t had to gut it out yet.  I know the day will come when I’ll have to; I know that I’ll be ready. Each day my armour is getting stronger and, as a result, I’m getting stronger and “softer”. And by softer, I mean that I’m more in tune with my spirit; I’m smiling more easily, laughing more and not working against my days.

Good times at Pan Cafe also makes me smile
