A good kind of tired

Have you had one of those days when you were hemming and hawing about whether to go to keiko? You know, work was tiring, and you weren't sure you had the energy for class. It was also so dark when you got home from work. That was tonight, but I wanted to say how glad I was I went to class. Yeah, it was tough and my knees were shaky, but you end up tired and also energized. If you're halfway mentally to the dojo, make that extra effort. I don't always follow my own advice, but I'm trying harder -- a New Year's resolution.

On another note, I've started to read "The Book of Macrobiotics," a book Sensei recommended to learn more about the concepts of yin and yang.

Finally, I put a link here to an aikido page on my Web site. It's mostly students who check out my site for homework, but maybe some of them will ask about aikido.
