Finally, finally
I have the time to post, the past few days has been nothing if not pure hecticness for me...

Today was not a bad day though, it's funny how a day always turns out horribly bad when you expect it to be fantastic and fabulous when you least expect it to be.

Well, so today is one of those rare days. Well, it's a matter of perspective too I guess, your horizon of expectations as challenged or reinforced by past experiences. The trick would then be to smile and be happy about whatever is on the day's platter.

Satiated

Well, went for training today, and dry fired for an hour and a half......and boy was it strenuous. The thing about Air Rifle is that it really trains your mental and cardio stamina, well, I figure this augurs well for me because I definitely have to work on my concentration and focusing skills.
If there was something I truly learned today, it would have to be the importance and effectiveness of peer encouragement.
Well, I was overwhelmed with lethargy that threatened to send me crashing to the floor, in a heap. The mental exhaustion I grapled with, was sapping me of my last ounce of lucidity. I was losing focus like a helpless clown desparately trying to keep juggled balls in the air.

But lo and behold, just when I was seriously considering calling it a day, dear Debbie came to my rescue. Haha, no she wasn't wearing red undies on the outside, nor had she a glorious flowing cape. She had but a few words of encouragement to offer me:

"Hey, let's focus and concentrate on the shooting, if your mind starts drifting, put down your rifle...."

Simple. Yet it touched me, and gave me a sudden burst of strength, and motivation. Suddenly, I was fully awake. The rest of the training went on with unprecedented ease and blissful joy.

Three cheers for Debbie. You made my day....

Haha....I am so excited about the class BBQ too! It is not so much the fun, games and food.
Not about the much anticipated frisbee game,
nor the marshmallows(yum yum),
nor the chicken wing galore.

Afterall, it is not all about fun and laughter, peace and joy. This represents more than anything else, an oppotunity for us to bond.
Cliche, yes. But nonetheless veritably true.

I see so much potential in us, what we all can be as one.
Birds of a feather flock together....
we are not of a feather. But soar together we shall.
All hearts beating as one? Not possible,
but a beautiful rhythem we can create.
We are not of one voice,
just as any choir is... ...
The altos, the sopranos, the tenors and basses,
Together we shall sing, in a beautiful melody

I am ready.
