Well, I Did It!!

[maiagirl]

I went back to my Dojo for the first time since April. Things continue to be tight financially, but it was worth it. It was hard, but it felt so good to move my body that way, to know that my round kicks are still as high as they once were, and, most of all, to be welcomed back by so many people. I was really afraid that I wouldn't feel comfrotable there anymore, that few people would remember me, that it wouldn't be HOME the way it was before I got laid off. But so many people welcomed me back, I got teased about the wrinkles in my gia, and I got lots of encouragement from my friends. And I'm sore as all heck today, but I have felt this happy (I have a place in this world) and content with life all summer.
