With the excitement of New Year’s Day behind me, I am anxious to move on. We are receiving more training, and it is all valuable stuff, but it is hard to sit in a “class room” and listen to a lecture with all that is on our minds.

Those transitions are always hard. You get all pumped up and excited, and them you have to wind down and train your mind to pay attention, instead of racing ahead of the moment. I suppose it is a real discipline we will all benefit from learning. Life can’t always be run at a hare’s pace. Sometimes, you have to be the turtle.
