Do Your Head a Favor and Do Something Different

Yesterday, I was perousing the internet, searching for a MMA gym near to where I spend my weekends of late.  The winter is coming and the garden has been covered.  The farmer's market is closing in 2 weeks and that leaves me with some empty time on my hands.  Interestingly enough, I have a friend who moved about 30 minutes away from where I am most weekends and we used to train Muay Thai together; she also taught yoga at the dojo.  I've been in touch with her to visit her studio and maybe play around with some Muay Thai pads some Saturday.  Well, wouldn't you know it?  As I was close to giving up with my search for a Muay Thai class, a little gym 30 minutes away popped up on the screen, and guess who's teaching classes there?  Yup...you got it!  What a small world indeed!  I've connected with the owner and turns out he trained with the same guys I did and welcomed me down to the dojo with open arms.  I've had a smile on my face all afternoon because I know I'm going to have some fun there and what better way to get back into fine form than martial arts??!!!  Yippee, Zippee!

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  I never thought it was worth a try to find a Muay Thai dojo near Sullivan County, NY.  But, I thought, "hey, what the heck?  Let me just try and see what's up there".  Not only did I find a gym, but I've found another group of people to welcome me and invite me into their lives to share our combined talents together.  So, before you 'poo-poo' something today, give a shot...you never know!  I gotta go...I'm off to dust off my shinguards and soak my mouthguard.
