Final Meeting
Tonight we had our last committee meeting so now it is all or nothing. You know how it is? You wonder if it the whole sale/auction will actually come off or happen. It has in the past and I assume it will this saturday. I have been chairmen of this planning committee for two years and I am amazed at how great these people are. Everyone has mutual respect for the other and everyone listens with sincerity. It has been a joy and a privilege to work these fine people. This is our last year on the committee and I will miss spending time with these hardworking people. I have been on some committees that I longed to be off of and was very relieved when my term was up. How often have you been glad your term was up?

It happens, doesn't it? Basically, I don't like conflict, so if I am on a committee that has a member or two who isn't flexible and can't seem to hear and respond to the wishes of others, I get discouraged pretty fast and long for the day when I can get off. Is that being a coward? Should I be willing to fight with those who seem to enjoy contests of the will?

Good question... You are much wiser than I, how would you answer the question? I would say it depends whether it is something that needs to be "fought" over. I feel like a coward quite a bit.
