3rd Black Belt
Reading about mango.man's daughter Samantha, Terry's health, Shelley's recovery and red belt test (yeah!), and Manny's foot, etc.:
Rest and recovery are critical aspects of perseverence--it's more than the undying effort that is the Yang of perseverance. I think it's important to think of time spent healing as building up the body for future efforts, not so different from training for the future.
At 47, balancing improvement and recovery from injuries is a daily part of perseverence for me. I put effort into healing well, just like into training well. I want to be as active as I can in TKD until I'm done with this body.
