Not Just a Dues Payer, Nor a Nay Sayer . . .

Focused Free Write

Yesterday, a colleague flattered me by explaining that I have the soul of a earlier generation. That generation that has a problem sitting idly by and watching things happen. Like maybe, I was supposed to be born in the 60s. I like to blame my parents for my genes of activism. However, I do think the activist genes must have mutated some because sometimes my ideas don't always turn to action. Sometimes, I feel defeated when my efforts aren't instantly successful, or I lose small battles. Could be I need to rally the troops or discuss strategy with my soldiers, my cohorts. But often I can't find them.
