Yuki Notes

I am ashamed to say, I did poor attitude to student’s guardian on the phone. It was like a complaint handling. Although I should not got emotional, I couldn’t suppress irritation. I’m not good at communicate with person who have aggressive personality. I want to exercise and I’ll sleep early today.

I went to the dojo of aikido two times in this week. I practiced how to reaction to “striking side of head” and “straight stab”. The important point is not too leave away from opponent. About the former, I was taught that I have to stand next to the side of opponent’s body. Speaking of the latter, I received advice not too withdraw my lower back.

She gets angry that I break my promise. I think it is little things in most cases. For example, doing the dishes, putting rice into a container, and going to cafe. Unfortunately, when I have other priorities or I’m too tired, I can’t accomplish them in some cases. If I were  single person, I would not hurt anybody. But I have a precious partner now. I have to know own tendencies and must control it.

I became 1st-dan of aikido in August this year. When I tied my black belt for the first time, I felt very happy. I want to try even harder to be a suitable person for the belt.

Although it was a busy week, I had a deep sleep last night. Getting enough sleep made my condition good. So, I was able to have a enjoyable morning with my wife. To improve my career, health, and private life I want to make a habit of go to bed early.

My married life is fun. The time that we spend together are irreplaceable to me. I think it is difficult to know oneself though, when I got married I could understand my nature through her eyes. I can accept her advice at once. I feel my own growth in my middle thirties. I want to treasure my relationship with my wife.
