The first day of spring is March 20. Spring is my favorite season because it is an annual reminder of renewal. In the wintertime many parts of the country are covered with snow. The trees are bare and the grass and flowers have died. But after the winter comes the spring.
We see new life breaking out of the ground in full bloom. The tulips, daisies and daffodils cover the hillsides with radiant colors of the rainbow. The bare winter branches become full with lush green leaves and beautiful butterflies are breaking out of their crusty brown cocoons.
Springtime is also a reminder for us to take time for renewal. Frequent renewal and refreshment is vital to living an effective and successful life. Just as you keep a watchful eye on the gas gauge in your car, you must be careful to recognize your personal indicators that renewal is needed. If your excitement is waning and you are losing momentum, direction and energy, it is time to act and take care of yourself. They are personal indicators your physical, mental, or spiritual gas tank is empty.
Toastmasters is an excellent place for renewal because it offers so many opportunities for you to refill your physical, mental and spiritual gas tank. You can renew your body and mind by preparing and delivering a prepared speech on something you are passionate about. You can renew your spirit by attending a speech contest and be inspired by International speech or Table Topic speech contestants from other clubs. Come to our District's 70th Anniversary on May 3, 2014 and be energized as we celebrate the success our clubs and our members together.
Take time for renewal and renew your membership in March. Remember, your club now need a minimum of 8 members to remain an active club. Your membership renewal will keep your gas tank full and your club healthy and strong. You will be a different you, a better you because you have the energy and the vitality to pursue your passion.
