Looking back, The Model Prayer and Let It Go - a gallant morning at EarlyBirds




Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

TM David launched us off by having us take a look at our past....


* TM Gail would tell her younger self to take the job she turned down, although in hindsight, it turned out to be the right choice!
* TM The Tom made a turning point decision to write down his memoir for his children to enjoy.  He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* Guest Kimberly would not compare herself to others if she could change one thing about her life.  She would focus on her own life!
* TM BeckyJo took longer to learn math, which she thought was irrelevant, and it turned out to be present everywhere in her life.  2 + 2 = 4
* TM Jorge regrets having dropped out of high school although he later made out all right!
* TM Veronica's most valuable lesson has been not to get distracted by distractions and focus on being herself.
* DTM Mary Helen wishes she had learned to ski as a girl, learned a musical instrument, although she became a professional astrologer  while playing the ukelele and signing German songs.
* I, Ana, would have chosen to study a career instead of wasting my time figuring out how to buy myself trendy clothes.

Then we listened to prepared speeches...

* TM Aleta presented a detailed description of The Lord's Prayer, where we pour out our hearts to God instead of using it as a private wish factory.
* TM Pam redid her Let It Go speech about purging holy family relics by storing them in Nostalgia Plastic Bins.  She Won Best Speaker Award.

Regarding our evaluations....

* TM BeckyJo commended TM Aleta for speaking at a moment's notice and urged her to watch prolific speakers to improve her vocal variety.  She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM The Tom praised TM Pam's ability to purge her belongings while singing Let It Go in B-minor and assigning her husband one storage drawer in the entire household.  

The Word of the Day was

GALLANT, adj
brave, heroic

Example:  At EarlyBirds we learn to be gallant while improvising different tasks.
