No Pain, No Gain

Had a brief attack of low self-esteem today at tae kwon do. My brother came with me, so he got to hear me lament about it afterward today. Lucky him.

I guess what bothers me is that I used to be coordinated, and now I flail around like a marionette being swung around by a two-year-old. I know this sort of thing takes time to get back, but I hate the feeling that my brain remembers how it used to be and my nerves just can’t be bothered to pay attention. I want the grace back again, and it’s frustrating that it’s not there.

But this does encourage me to practice more, so at least I’m heading in the right direction. I just have to keep going, I guess. But it’d be nice to have it now.

I know it's hard. :-( The important thing is you're getting exercise, methinks.

I can guarantee you've got more grace now than I ever will.
