Twas an an 8 hour drive...not 6. *sigh* Someone lied to me. Oh well. There was its ups and its downs. Ups consist of lots of social activity. I really enjoy conversing with people and I did. Note to self...need to be in green next time I see Cassie. Closer ties with 277 developed out of this too. How great.
I also met some people down there who were tourists and workers down there whom are panamanian. That was cool. Real cool. These people weren't DeMolay's, Jobie's or anything like that. I impressed myself. Hey! This counts towards the homework for my chapter. My dad, the Chapter Dad, is wanting us to strive to communicate with the community more, one by one, and thus he wants us to say hi to 5 new people every week or continue talking to those whom we said hi to already but aren't in our circle of friends.
I dunno...this Grand Bethel was lacking a bit. I dunno. I had quite the deal of fun too. I was rather happy for Hilary too. I was kinda hoping she'd get HQ but than I wouldn't get to talk to her that much as she'd be really busy and that would make me sad. Hil is a good friend and someone who makes me smile no matter what and that I enjoy. So tis fine. Though I would've enjoyed to here her talk at things such as Grand Lodge, Grand Assembly, and Convention.
Speaking of speeches Greg had a good opening for his. Nothing better than making a comment about the girls to get everyone all in a frenzy.
I was quite happy after all was said and done as I got to talk to many whom I thought have moved on from talkin to someone such as myself as well as to make new ties, new friends, and that such.
I must get stronger mentally more than I have been so physically. I have pushed myself physically about 5 times this year at the bare minimal which is a lie as I have done so every time I work out which is once a week. I must develope my speaking skills, my self confidence, and that like. I did well this past weekend but I missed great opportunities and that I regret. Nothing like an opportunity to create conversation and make people smile. I must not let this happen again. I will strive to make sure it never happens again and if it does to a lesser extent than. But i missed golden opporunities ripe for teh picking. And as the analytical opportunity b*****d that I am I take up on those moments...but I froze this past weekend sometimes. Hesitated. Second guessed. This is unacceptible. I must continue to condition myself. For the future of my life being at all prosperous relies on it. I am not a mere shadow of my brother. I am better.
Meanwhile in Gaia life, the NM scarf quest continues. Slowly but surely. I'll make it there, one day. I must invest in letters so that I may speed the process to ensure it'll be done by the end of this year. If only I had a spare $25 than I could supper accelerate the process. Oh well. I must wait for the right moment. I must wait for the traveling to end. 3nodding
Well I'm out. I feel rested but I got things to do so I'll talk to ya later holmes. Peace.
