The Winds of Change Are A Comin’
Is this glass half empty, or Half Full?
Change, it’s an inevitable fact of life. No matter what we think, we’re always changing, always becoming something more. The trite old expression “You haven’t changed a bit” is never true because it’s just not possible to stand still.
Yes, as we practice we become better; as we forget to practice, our ability diminishes to some point and we hope to practice more in the future. My life, like yours, is changing with new things occupying my time, sometimes leaving less time for things I’ve been doing. For me this is a good change.
Why the cryptic wording? Well, because I want you to keep reading of course. What am I getting at here? OK I let you in on it: I’ll be cutting back to posting 3 times per week rather than the 6 times per week I’ve been doing for some time now. This will allow me to devote a little more time to other aspects of tai chi, not to mention creating a living.
There will still be the high quality, entertaining content you’ve come to expect from me - that is assuming you considered my writing high quality and entertaining in the first place. If not, you’re probably not reading this anyway… so never mind. If you are reading this I hope you keep it up. If you’ve been making comments, thanks for the input, and if you haven’t it’s time to start. Comments are good and, although I like my readers, I’ll like you even more if you make comments. 
I’ll be seein’ ya. (Tomorrow, in case you were wondering.)

May 10, 2009 - 02:05:07Great post! Grandmaster Cacoy Canete, my Eskrima teacher, always says “The only thing consistent with me, is change”. I look forward to more of your blog posts!
it’s all good, John. Like you, I used to post daily, but have cut that back due to other obligations cutting at my time. Now, I just post when it moves me and feel that’s a better balance. Good luck, most don’t realize that blogging can be hard and time consuming!

Thanks guys! Your support is greatly appreciated.

All the best with your changes. I’m very glad you’ll still be blogging - reading them makes a bright spot in my day. Sometimes we need to devote a lot of time to something for a period so that we can develop our skills or complete a project, but there comes a time when we need to regain balance.

Bev,
Thanks for the kind words, and you’re right. It’s all about balance.
