Had an excellent class last night. I'm learning small tiger form, and it's a blast - a lot of fun. Much more fluid than standard form, or salutation form. We did horse set 3, then the hand set, then salutation, then standard, and finally took a break to work on small tiger. OMG - I was a sweaty girl by the time we got to the meat of the class! It felt good - muscles loose, body warm, feeling strong.

I wish my days just involved writing and kung fu. How wonderful would that be?!

The fam is doing well so far this year. Oldest son is getting through college, younger son is charming his way through high school, and hubby and I are dreaming up short adventures that we can do once a month. I'm hoping the next one will be kayaking, but as the weather cools, I'm not hopeful.

And I've got one novel almost out the door to an editor, and the other one almost ready to send even though it's not done. I know, I know - danger, Will Robinson! One of these days that practice will bite me in the butt again.

Come, Fall! Come, Autumn, with your cool days and chilly nights! I am so ready for the changing of the seasons.

It's time for change. I'm ready to be successful in my every day life...it's time I stopped thinking I don't deserve to be.

So - onward!
