It is Memorial Day weekend. I always have three days off since I go to school only three days a week. My hubby and I went hiking Sunday in Mission Peak where the grasses are turning yellow gradually since it close to the end of spring. We always like hiking a lot to keep in good shape besides doing other exercises. I used to practice Karate in a Gym, but I quitted it because I didn't want to learn from the Japanese sensei (instructor) and their purpose is for profit. There were so many belt tests that required $50 each time. I love martial arts and I wish I can have an authentic Chinese gongfu master to guide my way. Nobody believes me that I like qigong and gongfu as a quiet shy girl.

  Now, I have place to practice my qigong again. I need do more meditations to drive the distraction of the reality away from my mind because the balance of the mind is very important to our health. If the sadness, hatred, jealousy, and depression take over our mind, our mind will deteriorate little by little and one day there is only sickness left. I am very emotional sensitive person, I will benefit from doing qigong. Life is too hard and imperfect; I don't want to cry for the split of milk. People just realized so slowly that the happiness is way important than anything else in our life. Exereses is one way to keep us happy.

  When I see the widen stretch the mountain with full half yellow and half green grasses, my mind is refreshed again. When I see the cattle enjoy eating grasses in the sun, I give a sunny smile to myself. When I sweat up all the way to the top of the mountain, I know I am fight for the goal I want to reach. When I stand up in the summit of the mountain and look the outline of the beautiful valley with wind blowing, I feel the life is beautiful. I know that I can reach my goal if I make an effort.
