Enjoying the Memories

My secret weapon for organization has been a bound note book, I have used on without fail for the past twenty years of my career.  The tool had now spread to my home and volunteer roles, as I have been using a second bound notebook at home for many years also.  The magic is that I write everything in it.  To do lists, meeting notes, phone messages, conversations, anything that I want to reflect on.  Then at somewhat regular intervals I look back and catch any items that I may have forgotten or failed to follow up on. I have kept them all and as needed go back into the cupboard to find old connections or notes.  I will admit that my notebooks are filled less quickly as more and more cyber tools are offered to me to keep myself on track.  Our regular E-bulletins are a bit like my notebooks, a snapshot of all that we have been doing and accomplishing, month by month.  A place where if desired, we can reflect back and check in with all the places and faces that we have experienced in the covered months.  It is not meant to be an exhaustive record, but a collection of our stories to mark the passing of more time in the CLTH year.  This year has already been full of challenge and celebration.  Just like my little reflection over my notes to ensure I have followed up where I needed to, this edition offers a glimpse at things that happened that we should take time to appreciate and remember.  This quarter marked our Annual General Meeting, which is a great opportunity to reflect on our year.  Enjoy our memories, enjoy the summer.
