Well this weekend was not what I wanted it to be. For the most part it was good, got a little rain got a lot of training and work done on Saturday.
Then it happened, something as simple as walking in a door. I smashed my foot and did not think much more of it over the weekend, it was sore but it would get better. Well after a trip to the doctor on Monday afternoon I found out I fractured two bones in my foot. (Here is where I put the eye roll).
Looks like I will have to modify my training for the next 6 weeks. I did not even get to say it was a wicked kick or something similar. Oh well I guess I get to read more for the next little while.

It was a good weekend
I spent the weekend working with my boys. We had alot of work to complete from cleaning corrals to cutting down trees to working on the lawn.
Both my boys can now take an active role in the work, in fact, they both took over from bucking wood to hauling the wood with the front end loader.
It is great to be able to sit back a bit and see how far they have come in being able to do things and take charge of the work that needs to be done. It is with great pride that I see the work ethic they have, which I learned from my father and I hope they learned from me.

Chaos
What do you do when you are busy? This past week I lost two days with a cold, every time I turned around at work I had another unscheduled opportunity(problem). Had my trucks front end crater. Was having issues with some other business interests.
When this happens it sure can be tough to keep doing push ups. Not that it is hard to do them but to keep your mind focused on remembering to do them.
Did I not do the amount of push up I should have? Yes. My mind was focused else where but when I did find a calm among the distractions: I dropped and reped out 40 or 50 push ups.
The feeling of moving towards my goals, among the chaos, is very calming.

Continual Improvement
I have been focused on the curriculum for the last week. WOW there is alot to still know. On top of that looking backwards there is alot I have learned. It can be intimidating or it can be inspirational. In both cases I still have much to master both with new things and the things I have already learned.
I have been doing my job for going on 25 years. Yes I have worked for various companies but the majority of what I do I don't have to use much brain power any more if I want to do my job just at a minimum level. There is always new things to do but it is less than the same old. Now with my training in Kung Fu I look at what I do on a daily basis and think how can I improve what I am doing? How can I improve what the company is doing? What can I do to improve the lives of my employees?
Kung Fu gives us a new way of looking at the world. We get into a system of continual improvement in our training. If we use this right we can then use this system of continual improvement and incorporate it into our lives.
