Security Blanket

Everyone has their own kind of security blanket.  Lots of kids hang on to their favorite blanket or stuffed animal. When I finally got enough courage to leave an abusive marriage the kids and I really struggled to hang on.  My oldest son had asthma and he and one of his friends tried to convince me for months to let him take a martial arts class.  They used the reasoning that it would be good for his breathing.  I finally gave in and went and talked to the instructor said it would be good for him and he would keep an eye on him.  Because of the distance I would sit and watch the class and decided I would like to give it a try. I ask my son if it would embarrass him if I started taking class with him.  He said he would really like it if I did.  To make a long story short not only did I love the class, I became obsessed with it!!  Between my faith in God and the martial arts I was able to get through more trials and tribulations than you can imagine.  So I guess you can say that the martial arts are my security blanket.  Thank you for stopping by my blog!  What's your security blanket??
