I Want To Kick Some Butt!

But...I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Soon though. Someone was asking me yesterday if I still missed karate. I told them that I do and that I think about it every day and how much I miss doing it. I haven't given it up completely because as long as it is still in my head and I still love it, there's always a chance. I just need to get my body to cooperate and the hardest thing right now is being patient and careful as I try to get back into shape. I am constantly going over katas and self defense techniques in my head for two reasons. First, I don't want to forget all I've learned and second, it makes me feel like I'm still a part of it. I guess that's what keeps me motivated. Time will tell if it will ever happen or not but I am confident that it will because I want it so much. I know that karate isn't all about violence and beating on people but it's empowering to know that if I need to use it I can. It fills me with confidence to know that I can take care of myself and I don't want that feeling to go away.
