I am going to do it

I am going to resume taking karate.

Fiona has her first pre-screening for the black belt test tonight. There will be several of these over the next few months before she takes the actual exam. Wish her luck.

I am so pleased to hear that. I hope you enjoy it and that it is everything you want it to be.

Good luck to Fiona.

And to you. Just remember that it will take longer to fully recover from surgery than you think it should.

Good luck, Fiona!

Way to go, Peg!

Splendid. I wish you joy and ass-kicking.

I am so happy for you. You've missed karate so much!

Good for you! You need an outlet so badly, and this will provide it. You have a lot of energy to channel. And best of luck to Fiona!

You know, I think that returning to karate is just what the doctor ordered -- as long as you exercise due caution in allowing your body to fully heal from your recent surgery. ;-) With all of the stress factors in your life right now, I'm hoping this will be a balancing factor for you. Not only will it provide a physical outlet, but it will give you a regular sense of accomplishment. (Along with sending in that Fantasy Matters proposal, which, of course, we are all waiting to hear about.) Instead of "I really want to do karate again," you will be DOING karate again -- and that always feels good, even on a lousy day, to know you are doing and not just wishing to do.

And, of course, massive waves of good luck to Fiona as she progresses toward her black belt!

Yay, I'm glad to hear it!

What will be involved in her black belt test? The in style we're taking, the kids all had to write an essay about what being a blue belt meant to them before they could even attend the pre-blue belt workshop.

Good luck! (This is probably not an arena where one should say "break a leg"....)

Good.

I trust you've told your sensei about the surgery.

[identity profile] pegkerr.livejournal.com 2007-06-22 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. No pushups for awhile.

[identity profile] pegkerr.livejournal.com 2007-06-22 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Rob has been doing it and will continue to do it until he gets a job.

Best wishes to Fiona! And I am glad you get to take karate again, too.

Wow, that's great, Peg! I recently started up again (in an Okinawan style this time) and am very happy to be training again.

Good luck, Fiona! Kick ass!

Yaaaaay! Go Peg! (And go Fiona too!)

huzzah!

I know you've been itching to go back for a long time - I hope having this back makes other things easier to deal with, too.

I am so glad to hear this! :D
