Way back in the day, one of my philosphy prefessors led a discussion something like this. . . He who cannot rest, cannot work; he who cannot let go, cannot hold on; he who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.. . . . We all have a set of tools that have almost limitless potential. One of the challenges of YSP is reaching deep into our tool kit, sometimes even reaching out to the box, to see what we can do & what we can teach.
YSP is a chance to reach w-a-y o-u-t-s-i-d-e and lend a hand, make a difference not only to the host families that allow us to serve them, but to extend our family with the youths ans other adults that volunteer their time to come on YSP.
There are time when that special "YSP moment" happens and someone on your your crew truly amazes you with newfound skills, tools or capabilities.
Just for today, I will look for time to rest, to replenish, to gain proper footing.
