As Arnold would say, “I’ll be back.” TTFN

For some reason, blogging seems so easy this time. All last year when I had my original blog, I rarely made entries. I had good intentions, but it somehow seemed too hard. I was not a very good blogger. This time is different – it’s effortless!

It reminds me of when I was studying Taekwondo several years ago. Everything was difficult, no matter how hard I tried. Every part of my body hurt. For my Black Belt testing, I had my knees, ankles and hands bandaged. I had liniment rubbed on my shoulders. I wanted nothing to get in the way of me passing!

Well, the moment I had that Black Belt, I switched to T’ai Chi — and never looked back. Suddenly everything was easy! I had the best balance in my class, whereas in Taekwondo I could never balance. I could finally remember every new move immediately, whereas with Taekwondo I could never seem to remember, even with a month to memorize. And all that pain just melted away.

Analogy: my previous blog website was my Taekwondo; my new blog is my T’ai Chi.
