the last mile

I watched the video of our dragon/lion dance and must say its looking pretty good.  This is one of the best things about the I Ho Chuan ... the practices, the teamwork, the sharing, the performance anxiety. I love the getting ready part ... the actual performance is over in a couple of minutes but its the journey getting there that makes it all worth it.  I went back and read some old blogs and I can say that this was not the way I felt about it 5 years ago.  I was mostly terrified and overwhelmed, definitely NOT enjoying the journey/process.  And although I am slow, even reluctant to change, just sticking with it and failing over and over and over again to achieve my numbers and/or document my journey its still had a huge impact on my life.  Bit by bit I have been a little bit more successful each year.  My self discipline muscles are growing stronger and my attitude is more consistently positive, my life is just better!
