{Post #1,173} Honor Flight!

I got a phone call a couple of weeks ago.

It was a good one.

One that I have been waiting for a long time for the call.

My name was at the top of the list... to be a Guardian on an Honor Flight.

Finally!!

Here's what I know:

Our flight will be the twenty-ninth Honor Flight the chapter in the Quad Cities conducted.

There will be ninety-one veterans on the flight and my veterans are Ronald and Eugene.

I get to meet them, learn about the day we will spend together about a week before we take off!

I also get to have dinner with them the night before our big day.

To say I am thrilled would be the understatement of the year.

This has been on my "Bucket List B" for-ev-er. 

To learn more about Honor Flights, go here!

Not really.

As Seen in Take Ten!!

I was just notified... I'm in Stamper's Sampler, Take Ten, Autumn 2014.

Not sure what project or what page... but I'm in there.

The ironic thing is?? I really don't think of myself as a cardmaker, and most of my recently published work is... CARDS!

(Post #1,171) What I've Learned...

I was involved in some training recently, in which our trainer, a police officer, told us something that has stuck with me and resonated through me. Can things resonate "through" you? I don't know, but it sure feels like it did.

 

I reverberated, it resonated and bounced off every bone in my body.

 

Especially when recently I have felt like my patience is wearing thin; my fortitude is tested daily and my ability to facilitate progress has hit a wall.

 

When you are stressed to the max, pushed to the edge and you feel like no one appreciates you, just then.... when that one person says or does something that makes you feel inadequate, less than worthy and they minimize what it really takes to get things done, that is the exact moment I want to look at them and say...

 

Always be kind. No matter what.

Because people never forget.

The end.
