Ankle Bummage
Jun. 18th, 2011 03:29 pmYesterday I fell down the concrete steps outside my house, having twisted my ankle on something (a root?) At any rate, the good news is that I'm only suffering from a twisted ankle because I went into a roll that probably saved me from serious back or head injury. (Thank you kuk sool wan.)
The bad news is that I'm missing (AGAIN) my yellow belt test. The ankle is sore and the test is two hours of intense jumping around. I don't want to injure myself further, and I want to be able to go back Monday and keep practicing. The test will wait for me to feel better.
I'm sad, even though it really DOESN'T matter to me when I get my belt. This whole thing has always been about the journey. I'm just bummed because this will be the third time I've had to skip it. Well, I hadn't really figured out my acts of kindness anyway. (It's required to do at least 5 acts of kindness before each test.)
