I need an attitude readjustment! Having found myself experiencing some lethargy towards the time involved in preparing and attending meetings, I found my enthusiasm waning towards a fantastic group of people who’s company I enjoy and value. I realize that I have become impatient as opposed to mindful, somewhat resentful as opposed to enthusiastic. These are not the sort of emotions which I care to embody. I think I need to “re-inject” my enthusiasm into the group; I need to simply learn how (once again) to enjoy the meetings for what they are, and to perform whatever role which I am assigned to 100%, rather than plodding through acceptably, with some lethargy. In other words, my club deserves my full participation and effort!

Today, I am the “Ah Counter” – my role is to count “ums and ahs” and all of those pesky little filler words that sneak their way into our conversations (but, and, etc.), and to report on it with the intent of helping others become more mindful in their speaking.
