On the inside of my car door is a small patch of yellow paint. Its been there for quite a while, and it isn't wearing off. I could get annoyed by this, I have paint stuck on my car, but I don't. Actually, I smile whenever I notice it.
A year or so ago some of us helped out with a bridge painting project for the town of Stony Plain. We painted a walking bridge yellow. I had paint on my arm when I drove away and it transferred when I propped my arm on the windowsill.
Having a memory anchor like this is a powerful tool. I smile when I see that paint because it reminds me about that day. I remember Sifu Vantuil's two girls laughing and getting paint all over. I remember the Bjorkquists and Kohuts playing ultimate frizbee. I remember a happy day with great people.
The Tiger Challenge can serve as an anchor as well, if you let it. Remember the triumphs and the learning experiences. The work that was put into that day and the benefits of that dedication.
All our events can work this way. That is what they are meant for, for the SRKF family to bond and grow together.
