September 3, 2010 Chautauqua

From the Editor's Computer

It is back to school time. Time to return to our usual routines. Time for many clubs and organizations to resume their regular activities. Time for meetings to start up again.

September is also when we tend to join new clubs or sign up for extracurricular activities or life-long learning classes.

Every year there seems to be more and more choices of activities to involve ourselves in, with each choice appearing more exciting than the others.

After the summer break why do we suddenly over-schedule our lives? This fall, before you automatically sign yourself and your family up for various activities, ask yourself if you are signing up because you are really interested in the activity, or are you signing up because you think you should. A sense of obligation is not a real reason to join as that means you will not give the group/activity your very best. If you are not excited about the activity/group, why are you joining?
