Over the past couple of years I have learned that generally when you think you are at the end of your ropeĀ…there appears to be a whole lot more rope you did not know was thereĀ… but I think this weekend I may have finally come to the end of mineĀ…or I at least hope I am because damn it I want to start the climb back up it and quit sliding down it.

Just needed to get the off my chest

Thanks

You and me both, my friend. All I can send to help is my sympathies but sometimes just knowing that someone else 'knows' can be of assistance.

Speaking of rope, as I dangle here at the end if mine I realized that I have not had any time to train anything since last Friday.

So I stopped everything here a few moments ago, closed the office door and did a warm up that is a combination of what I have learned from Yang and Chen Style Taijiquan with a bit of my old Xingyiquan warm-up thrown in just cuz.

I then did Chen style Chansigong, the stationary bits.

A bit of qigong and then Siu Nim Tao and I have to admit I feel a whole lot more relaxed dangling at the end of my rope.

As I dangle here at the end of my rope I have also learned that there are those that want to add more rope so I can fall further….. I have also learned my feet are free so I think I will kick at them for a bit to see how they like it

I also found some great pictures of places I have been (I did not take these) that are making things a bit more comfortable and relaxing here and the ropes end
