Even though I can't shoot anywhere close to a dime-sized group yet, that wouldn't stop me from taking an FoF class. It's the fact that my body does not react well to stressful situations (not just from the emotional release [crying] aspect, but I have some medical considerations as well). Until I can feel confident that I can handle the kind of stress I expect from reading class descriptions and from experiences shared with me by other people without worrying about my medical issues, I am not ready. (Consider yourself clued.)
I've made huge strides in being able to handle stressful situations (emotionally and physically) just in the last few months, and I'm continuing to build on that progress. Shay made a comment .. somewhere .. that regular physical activity induced stress will help that building process, and I think it has merit, so Lars and I are looking into that.
