"When we have done our best, we can await the results in peace." Unknown

Good Morning Sister W.W.F.F.,

I am still so excited for Lisa B. and getting to her goal yesterday, as did Judy, but I can't remember if Judy got to her goal or if she is now a full fledged lifetime member. Which ever all I can say was it was a very exciting meeting yesterday and one we got to have celebration's.

I have this little book someone gave me awhile back, the title, ''Charging the Human Battery" by Mac Anderson. It's a very small book, but many of the quotes and stories do pack a whollop, and I found one that I felt fit so perfectly with our Weight Watchers journey. I hope you get something out of reading it.

Max Anderson:

I don't know who said this, but I do know that they were right on target. Let's take goals, for example. We set goals to keep us focused on the important things in our life; personal goals, career goals, spiritual goals, family goals, health goals, and we could go on and on. Sometimes we set out with great enthusiasm to reach these goals, but occasionally there are circumstances that set us back. Some within our control...some not. But there is a wonderful feeling of peace when we know in our hearts that we have done our best. Because, win or lose, we know that we are prepared for the next battle in life.

Committing to excellence is not an act, it's an attitude, "and then some." ''And then some.....these three little words are the secret to success. They are the difference between average people and top people in most companies. The top people always do what is expected...and then some. They are thoughtful of other's they are considerate and kind....and then some. They meet their responsibilities fairly and squarely....and then some. They are good friends and helpful neighbors....and then some. They can be counted on in an emergency....and then some.

We who have met our Weight Watcher goal had to add....and then some. We had to be focused, and as Lisa B. said yesterday, ''it tends to hang over your head.'' ''And then some," three little words that speak volumes, and are packed with attitude.
