I tried to get a group involved to work on our bylaws it was a few months and people went their own Way. The same with our tree decorating committee. Nobody wanted to help. It is hard to get people to feel a sense of pride

That’s a really good distinction, Steven, about good and not so good pride. I really was so proud of everyone involved when I took a moment to reflect on the whole seamless, easy process, just what the doctor ordered for these times. And inspired, it’s not just talk. It really can be done!

Pride is really self-respect and self-esteem, satisfaction in having done well or made a contribution. It is only one of the Seven Deadly Sins when there is exaltation over others and even God, by failing to acknowledge what has been given to us. God allows us the joy of taking deserved pride in accomplishments of our own and others that are contributing benefits beyond our own wants and needs. Congratulations on the product and enjoy!

Threatening times especially stir threatened and threatening behaviors. But here we have it, doesn’t have to be that way, right?

How personal. How important. Brava snd bravo. And since I recently encountered competitiveness and crankiness of another professional for whom working together was threatening, nice to see things work for the good of all not the good of self.
