Tonight we noticed just how much Andy has grown recently. He’s getting all sorts of tall. Stretching out a bit from all his rock climbing. He noticed that his legs are now as long as the spindles in the banister. He wanted us to take his photo to show this.
I came to the decision today that I will not be testing for my black belt this rotation. COVID really took a lot out of me and it is taking a while for me to get back to a level that I would be happy with. I took class today and Miss Jen, the instructor came by and told me, “do what you can do, not what you can’t do” because she knows I was trying to go all out despite having a tough time catching my breath. I was having a tough time but still wanted to do my best. I also realize that I cannot perform at the level that is expected for a Black Belt. I’ll have to get back up to that level by the Spring because it has been long enough.
