Monday February 17 2020 - When a friend hangs the towel...	Some thoughts
I had a wrestling friend who is in his mid-40s. Very good shape for his age, he occasionally takes martial arts classes. We used to wrestle about two or three times a year. He told me recently that his wrestling days are finally over. What? He's more active than I am and he's still young. How did it come to this? What happened? Part of the chores required for his daily work consists of lifting boxes and his doctor finally told him that it has taken a very big toll on his body.... especially his back. The doctor also told him that wrestling is also no longer an option. It's incredible how everything can change all of a sudden... in one day, in one week or in one month. Life throws a curve ball at you and suddenly, you need to let go one of your deepest or greatest passions. I told him that we could still meet to perhaps, take it easy, trade light holds... maybe cuddle? We'll see how it goes. I guess the summary of this blog entry is that you should take advantage of life and enjoy wrestling while you still can... Keep your wrestling friends close and keep in touch with them often.
