What's new

At the beginning of September, I made a sudden decision. After Jiřinka left to London and I got terribly pissed at work (I guess it was about time the honeymoon ends) I felt I needed something new that would bring fun to my life. And out of the blue, I knew it: I start training karate again. It was the most obvious thing to do.

This happened last Monday. On Wednesday I went to our old gym to find out the current schedule and on Thursday I had my first training. Well, you should have seen the look in the head trainer's eyes when he saw me. It was like a return of the long-lost daughter.

I can't remember when I was so happy for the last time, maybe when I returned to Yerevan a year ago. Yes, the feeling was similar. It said: "I'm back home". Anyway, it is amazing how the body remembers all the moves, while the head totally forgot the names of them. With katas it is a different story. I cannot even walk the very basic one, which you are supposed to know after three months. So I'm decided not to wear kimono until I am able to practise at least five basic katas in a non-abashing way. Nobody needs to see the color of my belt till then :)

All together, my world changed 180°. From "having too much free time" to "sorry, I'm busy". From "no way I'd go to gym" to "let's go jogging". I had to reschedule my Russian classes, teach my coleagues that twice a week I leave the office early, wake up earlier to be the first one in the office and have my work done... And still, suddenly, everything is how it is supposed to be, everything is perfectly right. I hope, I keep this feeling for a very long time :)
