7and8

7 got his yellow belt recently. Along with the new belt came a patch of the Dojo logo to be sewn onto the ghi over the heart. So I had to use a skill I only know through dog toy repair and having watched my mother use 25 years ago (OK she used it a lot 3 boy scouts x 80 merit badges = pricked fingers).

I put it off because it scared me. I hardly knew how to do it and I knew it wouldn't be pretty. I struggled through it and made some hairy artwork on the inside, but since that doesn't show I'm not going to worry about it. I did my share of cussing from sticking my finger.

This little lesson reminds me that we don't know what we are capable of until we have to do it. 7&8's puppy dog eyes are motivating too.
