I am here this afternoon, feeding my baby boy and missing Toastmasters. I remember when I was in two clubs and feeling overwhelmed with attending so many meetings in a week. When I was preparing for the Business Connection I went to a Toastmasters club meeting every day for two weeks. Now my life is surrounded with home school lesson plans and diapers and I can't remember the last time I gave a speech. Why am I posting this on our club blog? To encourage you to appreciate your ability to give a speech and attend meetings. It's very easy to take it for granted and experience burn out. I know that my baby will be grown before I know it and I will miss the baby days, so I am savoring every minute with him. I am trying to remember to write this stuff down so I will have some great speeches to give when I get to join a club here in Lubbock or when I visit you all in Amarillo.
I miss you all and hope that you are all doing well.

Hi Janine, what a wonderful way to remind us not to let the everyday things of life overwhelm us that we forget to do something beneficial for ourselves. I needed this shot of encouragement. Thanks. I hope my fellow Toasties read your blog. It's great. I'm happy to hear what you're doing. Keep up the good work. Tell the kids hi and remember we love ya.
