Now for the real exercise. I had to work today, but my supervisor was kind enough to let me have a loooong lunch break, during which Joseph, Michaela and I tested for our next belts. I am happy to say we passed.
Hooray for you all! Noah has been taking karate for several months, but it’s slow going for him, I’m afraid… he still only has 3 stripes on his white belt *blush* He really loves taking the class, but doesn’t practice as he ought, I think. I wonder too if it is the type of karate he is taking, maybe? (she asked hopefully;))
hello! so glad to have discovered your blog. I also live in nc – in asheville. and my name is lynn. funny coincidence to have discovered your blog. I will be back as this looks like lots of fun to peruse. happy day.
Diane, thank you. I think the classes can vary and instructors can vary. I really, really like our sensei.
Lynn — wow another Lynn. I think there are quite a few of us. I made a quick visit to your blog and will certainly come back. I’ve been working today and of course my weekend was very busy. Thank you for your kind comment.
Marqueta, thank you! I am tired, but I always feel very good after our karate class.
I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our pet rabbits.
I have a 21-year-old son, a 19-year-old son, a 16-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
