Success? Or unrealized potential?

It's late on Sunday evening and I am officially crashing from a long weekend. Too many events for 48 hours. To be honest, my procrastination got the better of me this weekend. Yes, there were many things that had to be done this weekend, but there were also projects that I delayed that ultimately had to be completed in the same period of time.

The end result? A very frazzled Sue.

Did it show? Apparently not. All evening I have been receiving calls from people congratulating me for a fabulous weekend. Honestly, it makes me feel guilty because if I would have finished some projects a few days earlier, it would not have been as stressful. These folks seem to think that I spent hours preparing...Definitely only one side of the picture. Let me say this, I hope this is the last time that I "wing" an entire 45 minute awards presentation...Next time, a little pre-scripting would be healthy for my sanity. Although, the audience had no idea I was relying on my extemp skills. (thank you high school forensics coach!)

I must say that it was the final moments of the awards presentation that made the weekend worthwhile. We were able to honor an outstanding member of the program. The pure joy and delight from his family were definitely worth all of the hours of work. Oh the smiles...
