MARY: None. Your VQ ran out of time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dads camp
COT: Gratitude. Your VQ tries to live life with a daily focus on gratitude by actively showing and expressing gratitude for actions of others, and encouraged PAX to try to show gratitude to others in their daily lives. VQ expressed gratitude to the PAX standing before him who came out in the gloom to share in his VQ, who encouraged him throughout, and who had his 6 (including at the tail end of the Chuck Norris exercise when VQ ran out of breath). VQ also shared a couple of rules to live by that hang over his desk. Rule #1 – treat others as you would like to be treated. VQ noted this is a seemingly simple rule but that many, many people forget it. Rule #2 – what comes around goes around. The corollary – if you violate Rule #1, see Rule #2! VQ thanked the PAX for their patience and by that time it was almost 10am so we left the field…
