I spent about 20 years of my life as a young mother limping, so to make up for lost time, I am working on a third degree black belt in Aikido. I would probably not be walking now, if I my lame spine determined my activities. I have learned a lot by working on my mind/body. Aikido is a great way to stay in touch with people of all ages and walks of life. Other than around 20 hours of Aikido a week, I enjoy being a homeopath for the English speaking folks in Tokyo. My 3 kids are working in the States and show no sign of grandkids, so life is care free. Every year we keep postponing our move back to the US. When finally full fill our promise to move back, I will see you at to the West High reunion.
