Karate Chop the Waves

In one month Michigan, we will be reunited. Lets talk about it. The freezing, yet inviting waves of Lake Superior may be 1600 miles away, but I can hear them taunting me "just do it you chicken". And I will run, jump, and karate chop them until my lips are blue and hands are pruny. If you have never karate chopped a wave, you're making life harder than it needs to be. Clearly, breaking up the wave before it crashes over you decreases the impact. This talk is not all nonsense. Try it and maybe you could find a way to apply it to other life issues. I certainly do.  For example...

Nate and I have been devoting most of our time lately to the house hunt.  We are determined to be in our own place before the wedding.  We sought the help of a realtor to take it to the next level, lets be honest, we can't do this on our own.  I just karate chopped a wave there.  House hunting takes the cake consuming most of our nights and weekends.  But we are really enjoying it so far, its all very exciting.  It just leaves me to wonder, what will we do on the weekends after we find a place.  Inviting 'date night' back into our routine sounds lovely.

To fill any unoccupied minutes, Nate and I are usually going for a run, or just spending time outside, the weather has been beautiful in Edmonton lately.  We are also packing up what few possessions we do have so when this move happens, life will be a little easier...wave, karate chopped. 

See, its entirely practical.  Next time you karate chop a proverbial wave, make the hand gestures, because that helps too.

You look tired Lake Superior.  Get some rest.  You'll need it.
