BACKBLAST: Pain in the Park 2/2/2019

12 PAX including YHC found the will to take a recovery day at the park. Lucky Charms, Fortran, Radar, Water Wings, Epstein, Mulligan, Boones Farm, Gilmore, Flo Rida, Checkbook, Doubtfire, Special Ed (Q)

I need to break from the BackBlast for a moment and explain why I am YHC for today. I read, and re-read Flo Rida’s post to 2ndF from Jan 25th over the last few days about leadership: “Has F3 made you a better leader? At work? At home? In the community?” 

I was able to answer yes. Although it is up to others to judge the effectiveness, I am a leader at work; also F3 has brought a closeness to coworkers that powers our ability to achieve things together. F3 has made me a better husband and father at home. I am a leader in my church….but all that left me selfish as well. Through some injuries over the last 1 1/2 years I selfishly looked at all of you PAX to carry the leadership role of F3 Qs… I thought to myself, “I do all this other leading at work, home and at church, F3 should be where I can relax, sit back, and let someone else do the heavy lifting….” Boy am I wrong. ”
For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. ” The PAX is stronger if I am stronger, and I become stronger the more I sharpen my ability to lead…..

So as I looked at the Q sheet Friday at lunch and realized it was empty for Saturday, I had a choice. I could do what I have been doing as of late, close Google sheets and let someone else do it and maybe not even post, as I had “just led already this week”, or I could do something about it….

Now, this isn’t an attempt to place anyone in a position to question their willingness to lead. That’s not my point. My point in writing this is to share a journey I am on, and to know you all are a part of that with me
