lesson learned
i don't miss many days retreats. i think i've missed maybe 1 or 2 batches men's/women's combined since i joined in 1997. this recent men's batch fell on a relatively busy weekend, but i figured, it's men's batch anyway, i'm not quite as needed. i was frustrated that i couldn't be there because of some commitments i had made, but i knew the guys would be okay. but just as i anticipated, i really missed it. i really missed the opportunity to be with everyone. i missed out on the experiences. i hate the feeling of missing out on stuff that means a lot to me. and there's never any replication of these kinds of experiences. yes, there will be other retreats, but you can't duplicate the people who were there or the sharing of talks and experiences or just the bonding with one another. lesson learned: don't schedule anything on top of days weekends. yes, it was good to go to my friend's wedding. but no, it was not worth it to go to the santa cruzan. i was more than annoyed at the process, even more annoyed cuz i'd rather be elsewhere.
reminder to all dazers: next women's batch is on august 25-27 at [secret location]. we are confirmed!!!
when's the next men's batch? october? that'd be sweeeeet!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
