Circle of Trust

I’m getting older and my body is telling me to change my habits.  My back has been in pain for the last month after doing a full-day of yard work (pulling weeds really).  I usually am someone that takes a project full-on and I don’t like to leave anything undone.  So, I will work as hard as possible to finish project completely and done well.  But, now I need to start considering doing little chunks over days.  I will only do about 30-60 minutes of yard work now.  This also applies to any chores or work stuff that needs to be done.

Life changes come at you as a feather, a brick, then a truck.  When will you recognize necessary changes?

Naked Man Moleskin

I have been avoiding the QSheet because it seems like I am EHing on Slack to get Q spots filled at The Bear and feel like it is just a matter of time before I will have to step into a vacant Q to help the AO or as SiteQ.  And that very situation came to fruition.  A Q spot was left open and I had to scramble to figure out a workout.  However, Brother Bluto and Nacho Libre gave me the inspiration (W in the W is CSD?) and ideas for how to theme the Q and exercises to use.  It turned out to be a really great and fun workout!  It was a really good group that came out to The Bear and we are all feeling good about keeping The Bear weird!  I initially panicked about how to Pre-Blast the work out and just told people to wear a wig.  Thank goodness for Ebeneezer or I would have been the only PAX wearing a wig.  Scrum from F3 Cincinnati came and shared his experiences from his home AO.  I think he appreciated the weirdness that ensued this morning.

Keep The Bear Weird!
