October 2010 Motivation Contest

[Suzie and OzSee (Pack co-leader)]

As you all know, I am always looking for ways to engage us as a community and contests seem a way to get the gang rolling.

We are all an amazing support for one another that there has to be uplifting quotes or stories that have motivated each of us that we could share with one another. So.... here's the contest. Please post your motivational quotes, stories, and/or "pick me ups" here. You can make as many as ten postings each day as you would like but, each posting must be a single quote or story. Each quote entered is valued at 10 points. On October 31st, we will tally up the number of quotes entered per person for an overall site winner. This person will have their picture posted on the main page, as well as will they receive a small gift from the site.

This will not only be a fun contest, but it will become a wonderful repository of tales to pick us up. THANK YOU all for your participation.

Instructions:
1. Under "Reply to This", Add your favorite quote.
2. Click on "Add Reply" .
3. You can repeat this process 10 times per day.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.
