Training, fencing and baking keep going, fencing get frustrating sometimes, training gets repetitive, and cookies sales get slow sometime, the trick at these times is to just keep going, and sometimes that is easier said then done. Last Saturday was a great practice and things are starting to lock into place, so despite the bumps, bruises, and muscle strains the work is starting to pay off. This week the final NAC of the season is taking place and unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to Portland, the next domestic event for me will be in Daytona Beach in October, not sure about anything international just yet, but it does give me time to get everything in place to make a great showing the next season. It seems each time I lock into a frame I'm showing signs of improvement, sometimes its slow and frustrating but the improvement is there, so I will keep drilling, keep practicing and keep working out, and doing what I can to excel in my chosen sport.
Cookie sales have there ups and downs like any business, sales are steady, but I'd be lying if I said I was happy with where sales were, of course I'd like to see cookies turn into my golden brown buttery ticket, and eventually open a brick and mortar storefront that will allow me to provide individuals with disabilities a place to work and earn a little extra pocket cash. Like the fencer I am I'll just put my head down, and keep at it one dozen at a time, one mile at a time and one practice at a time!
I always close these ramblings with a thank you to all those who read this blog, and have supported me throughout the ups and downs of my fencing adventure and my cookie experiment. I couldn't have done any of what I have done thus far without all of you standing strongly in my corner.
