Tonight finished off an incredibly busy weekend where I had the opportunity to work with some amazing individuals.  Some of those I knew and had worked with previously, others were new friends I made.  Most of us had the chance to interact with one another from Friday all the way through the end of Sunday night.
I must say, though each of us was struggling with our own challenges and all were running on very little sleep, it was a joy to see how well we worked together.  How all of us brought a smile and positive attitude to the table.  Those made for an overall great experience. 
Though, there were technical challenges and major organizational failings we had to overcome, each person was so bent on making the most of the situation that we pulled together like a finely oiled machine, not letting anything get us down.  When it’s all said and done, that—how well we worked together—is my lasting impression, one that puts the biggest smile on my face.  I keep grinning like an over-enthused Cheshire cat when I think of how warm and welcoming everyone was to one another.  How I wish things could always end on such a positive note. 
Without a doubt, this was one of the busiest, most taxing and exhausting weekends I can recall having.  But it was also one of the best times I’ve had in a very long time.  It’s left me with the warmest glow inside as I recall the happy expressions on everyone’s faces regardless of how tired they were and how all were quick to lend a helping hand or share with one another whatever they had.  Being surrounded by such a host of compassionate positive individuals for three solid days was an absolute joy!
