From the Editor's Computer

On Sunday afternoon (Nov. 16th) I attended the Visions Country Gospel concert, silent auction, and supper at the Bashaw United Church. The event was very well attended and enjoyed by all, which can be attributed in part to the people organizing and putting on the event (and yes, as one of those people I can take a tiny bit of that credit).

In truth, what made the afternoon so enjoyable and successful was not so much what the Bashaw and Mirror United Church people did to put on the event (and provide a yummy supper), nor was it totally a result of the excellent crowd - though both of those factors were very important in the overall success of the event.

Rather, it was the fun and enthusiasm that the performers shared with us all through their performance. Garry, Brian, Dennis, and Jim have so much fun singing and performing together that the audience can’t help but get caught up in the mood. That is what made the event so spectacular, and that is the most important ingredient in any endeavour we undertake - be it our job, our hobbies, or volunteer work.

If you display fun, enthusiasm and a real zest for what you are doing others will be caught up in your excitement and will want to be a part of it in any way they can for however long they can.

It is your attitude that makes what you do a success or not. What attitude are you exhibiting in your activities today?
