Perfection

Not often can one use that word in any sentence without abusing it’s true meaning. Perfection means that there is no room for improvement. If that is the true meaning of perfection I want no part of it.  Approaching perfection is always the goal knowing that we will never reach it makes the journey all the more powerful. Once we think we have reached perfection, we become complacent and there is not much game in that.  

The spin game in the new CS has me wondering what 2011 will bring for all of us especially in KSC. I have renewed my commitment to spinning with The Evil Woman so that I can stay sharp in form as it relates to my posture in and out of the saddle and how to breathe correctly. Kristen is always bringing us something new, and this week she was focusing on how long we could keep our mouths shut and nose breathe.  I know from Carolyn that nose breathing gets me the most oxygen to my body and that mouth breathing has much more CO2 which helps me little in recovery. It was a great experiment and it takes a great deal of concentration because the default setting has my mouth open gasping for what I think is gallons of air. 

Can I single out someone in our midst? Would anyone mind? She is Mary McCann. I would love to start to talk about someone new every time I write and in Mary’s case we have the ultimate cheerleader. She is devoted to her husband and family first but I have not found many that are so self effacing and so willing to help others even when the situations in her life are challenging.  I mentioned to Mary only in passing that Constance Korol was trying to help Island Harvest in the procurement of dry goods for that charitable institution. Virtually the next day Mary with the help of her daughter produced a huge decorated box, which found it’s way to the corner of the front desk. And even more importantly within days it was filled to the brim. Mary McCann, a great cheerleader and for those that are close to her a great friend as well.
