Without getting into details, I recently had to attend to a family medical emergency involving my dad, and the experience really made me examine my priorities. I've conlcluded (this will be blasphemy on this forum) that I've been taking kendo way too seriously and that there are more important things, things which are more "core" to who I am, than kendo.

On a number of occasions it has crossed my mind that some posters are way too serious about kendo. But, living a healthy lifestyle, finding an activity to do with your sons and being committed to self improvement, are all likely to be some of your core values. I have found that I just need to lighten up on my religious attendance. My kendo isn't going to get better or worse if I go to one more class or miss one more class, here and there.
