The privilege of working out is one YHC did not take for granted this week. Despite some short nights of sleep and earlier than normal alarms, it was great to know I was going to be out with the PAX – the best gift we can receive – one of community and belonging. And it never gets old, just better.
Thanks for the call, McHale. :eye:

WARMUP: Cold morning required a warm up session for the Q so the rest of the pax got the same
THE THANG: Mosey to basketball court on far side of school. Stopped on way at picnic tables for some step-ups and dips (3 rounds). The routine at the court involved 2 laps of yogging followed by a round of 3 core exercises followed by one set of suicides. We rinsed and repeated for a total of 3 full cycles of this routine. Then moseyed back to launch.
MARY: She joined throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam, trash pickup
COT: Some quick departures shrunk the COT crowd. We identified Honky Tonk and Sugar Bug as Ballroom regulars we hadn’t seen recently. One pax committed to reach out to each for a check in.
Throughout the Thang, pax traded experience regarding how change has impacted their life and whether they felt the rate of life changes was accelerating as they age or slowing. General agreement was that the volume and rate of change GROWS as we age. A comment was made about the rate of change vs EXPECTATIONS. Q Source says we prepare for what’s expected so that we’re in the best position possible to respond for the inevitable times when unexpected change will come our way.
My experience and study on life change indicates we go through many cycles and each one reflects three stages: an ending to the current reality, an uncomfortable in between period, then a new beginning. Moving past the “ending” that is really the start of change often requires a “letting go”….maybe even a grieving period. What do you need to let go of so you can move forward?
Grateful to Bass for the Q invite and the very timely reminder at Flight Plan Mon morning. Also grateful for the covey of Respectable HIM who posted to help sharpen me. May God continue to bless The Fort!
