Time to go?

Class tonight was hard. I’ve forgotten almost everything--all of the forms, the stances, the kicks, the punches. I guess I’ve been away for close to 6 months. There was someone there tonight who was in my beginner’s class and she had already earned her orange belt! (She was a black belt in karate before she started kajikempo, but it’s still pretty amazing).

Tonight, I felt stupid. I felt like I couldn’t do anything right. And it seemed even worse, because tonight's class was a mixture of all levels: orange, purple, blue, and black. I’m trying not to let it get to me and trying not to be so discouraged.

Honestly, right now, part of me feels like giving up and just running more. I'm trying to remember how much I enjoyed it--and that it will all come back with a little practice. I hope so, anyways.
