It feels good to be tumbling again—really tumbling, and not just demonstrating a cartwheel and the occasional back tuck. Over the past few years I have spent a bajillion dollars (that’s at least 17 zeroes) on treating pain in my foot. Through the sum of those treatments and making a deal with my body that I will not be doing this forever, it *seems* I have finally come to a zone I can maintain and work at. I am thankful for those at Connect like Britton and Ryan who have served as consistent reminder and motivation. Tumbling friends in more distant parts, such as Anthony and Dominic are not forgotten either. It is very easy to settle for “good enough” and not seeking to rise above one’s environment, especially if the “need” isn’t absolute or clear to some. Whether you find or manufacture that need, it is rewarding to honor what talent and training has been given to you.
