Scout led us out in a prayer . Chitwood has Q tomorrow for Paynehurst at Camelot Park in Pinehurst.
Moleskin: I really appreciate everyone showing up, and putting forth excellent effort. This was an interesting workout today, and not one that I normally would have focused on in designing a workout for the pax. However, after hearing that Sparky was getting a new hip, I found my inspiration. I have discovered that I need to work on my Hips more frequently, as I am sore in different spots as I write this tonight. As Capt. D (Birthday Boy) likes to remind us, “I’m strong if you are strong.” I will become stronger thanks to this workout and subsequent exercises that I will adapt into my daily routine. I wanted to share a great message that I read today by Jon Gordon:
3 Things to do Today:
- Don’t get caught in the comparison trap. Comparison is the thief of joy.
- Focus on what you can control (your actions, effort, and attitude) and let go of the rest.
- Be “The Seed” and make a difference where you are.
Powerful message, and one that is a nice reminder not to sweat the small stuff, Trust in the Lord that he will put you in the right place and time to be a light in this world for his flock. I appreciate every one of y’all and I will See Y’all next time in the gloom.
