Everything begins with a yes. Nothing begins, nothing happens from the word no.

 

I have taken up roller skating recently and found that I love it. I began with great trepidation about falling, breaking bones, etc. After all, I am not 18 years old any longer. 

            

 

It was only a few years ago that I took up Karate again after a 25 year layoff and ended up ruining my big toe joint while breaking boards with a front kick. No regrets. 

            

It was that same summer that I took up tennis again after a 30 year layoff. Both tennis and karate were the passions of my life at different periods. After feeling a tear in my bicep while playing one day, I didn’t have the sense to stop, and on the next swing I felt a muscle rolling up in my arm like a windowshade that is pulled down and released. (Some people don’t have the sense the Good Lord gave a goose). 

 

And still - no regrets.
