Sleepy and FrustratedFor the first time since exactly a year ago I dedicated my weekend to the SYA weekend retreat. Well, I got involved because Wappy joined it and I was his sponsor. But it did me some good too. Again, I met new people, established stronger ties with those I already knew, and received general absolution.
It's no joke being in Team B (logistics, food, music ministry, stand by - all in one). It gets boring while the talks for the participants are going on so all I can really do is get hooked on a crossword, eat with the rest of the gang, and sing.
On to another side of the weekend, I find it frustrating how "some" people can be extremely insensitive. Yes, I like Greenhills and I love new shoes, but when it's time for me to give support to my cousin who's at his retreat, I want to be there on time. I love these people I'm talking about but I hate it that they have to turn every "eat out" into a feast when there are thousands of people in this country who are starving. And although they do have extra money to spare, I hate it that they "have to" splurge on material things when all they really will do with these things is stock them up. Plus the fact that they have no imagination and they want the things that you already have.
It also frustrated me that while we were happy and peacefully content from the the wonderful mass that ended the retreat, they had to ruin the moment with their own personal financial quirks and what-have-yous and make us take them home so darned late, so now, while they (who are retired) can sleep til later, I am fighting my tired eyes from giving in to sleep.
Hay! I better stop this ranting. I'm just glad that SYA will always be there when I need to lift up my spirit. And if I weren't dragged into a personal driver on a supposedly, blessed Sunday, I probably wouldn't have minded all that had happened yesterday that much.
