Oh Yeah!

I did IT!

I knew it was nearly impossible, but I still decided to show up and go for it anyway.
I know I am not perfect or going to win any medals - wait check that - but I teach them to do their best no matter what. When you want it go for it with what you have. Do your best, whatever that may be.
I spent two hours doing taekwondo tonight. TWO hours. An hour with one on one Black belt class. That was very helpful. I've been stuck here for nearly a year now. This was the last night to get books in for Grad in two weeks. I was not expecting to graduate, but I decided to just let that go, Put in my cosmic order and show up.
I'll be dammed though if I wasn't walking away with atleast one stripe tonight!!
Well I did it. I got all four.
ALL FOUR STRIPES IN ONE FRIGGIN' NIGHT!

I did it. I am no longer a yellow stripe. I earned my yellow belt!!
The best reaction was when I told Julie I had something to show her when I got home.
I pulled out my belt with the stripes on it, and She literally squealed with delight.
She and Callista were jumping up and down screaming and laughing and crying. They were so happy and excited. For Me.

That was very cool.
I am so proud of me. And shocked and surprised and happy.
And very very sore.
It was worth missing the game tonight -which we won!
I can do things.
Wow.
