Do the hard thing

Has it been since November...I,m sorry (you, though, probably are not).  New Year, new sorrows : my dog Sammo had to be put down..it was necessay, but sorrowfull.  There is an old Basque saying :`Who must do the hard thing...the one who can. `  These words are true in life, and in training. Do the hard thing.  Lift the weights...go to practice, even you are soul weary.  Share what has been shared with you. Teaching is a privilege, and an obligation.  Go to new teachers and teachings....Acadamie Duello has deepened my appreciation and understanding of weapon arts, as has Hurstwic.  I next plan to incorporate the teachings of Luis Preto.  We are lucky to live in an age of open information, but the blessing can be a curse. Pick your teachers well, and your students. And remember, do the hard thing.
