I am feeling discouraged with my
Tai Chi training.
There is only one class available per week. I have not been to class in three weeks. The first week, due to a scheduling conflict at the
dojo, I needed to teach Okinawa
Kenpo instead of attending
Tai Chi class. The second week, I received a message from the instructor saying that he needed to cancel.
Last night, I went to the gym and waited for the instructor with another student. We practiced the first section of the form a few times. We then received a phone call from the instructor saying that he was stuck in traffic and would not make it to class. The instructor works near Philly and sometimes traffic is impossible.
It gave me an opportunity to think about my
Tai Chi training. One class per week is not enough. I can not seem to remember the pattern of the form. I do not know enough to practice on my own. I have been attending class for eight months.
I know that this is
not a lot of time. Am I expecting too much?
Other news: I finally replaced my broken digital camera. I bought a Canon
Powershot AS1000IS. The bad news is that the first pictures I took with this camera was the damage to my home from a wind storm. It ripped some siding and trim off my house. The storm wiped out a few shingles from the detached garage and the roof needs to be replaced. We have never made a homeowners claim and is much more involved that I realized. The insurance company gave us half the money for the garage roof. We need to come up with the balance or replace the roof ourselves to save money. I am waiting on quotes from the contractor.
Spin Class kicked my butt. Let's just say the bike seat was as comfortable as concrete. I did not love it...I did not hate it. Jury is still out on this one.
