I used to think that MODS were the best of the best on pedistal high I was so in awe of them-- write 'em a review? Nah, I'll pass it by! Intimidated? My gosh, yes scared to death of their high blue-ness Then came the day that I turned blue and didn't the black cases change their view! I'm still just me; I'm still just Fyn-- I'm the same me I've always been! Only now folks were intimidated by me! It'd come full circle don't you see! So my greatest challenge and greatest joy was in being a mentor; being color-blind, able to teach, or edit or write with any writer of like mind. Case is merely a measure of time and being involved verses able to rhyme! Being a bluecase means the world I love writing newsletters, being a judge, yet still sometimes I see the awe and honestly--I think, 'Oh fudge!' But blues have POWER; yeah, what a joke we still plod along wearing writer's yoke! Sure we've been here now quite a while we know the ropes that haven't changed we stll have questions--don't know it all, we still have words to rearrange! Blue is a color, an honor, a rank and SM for that I'll always thank! Part of me thinks we blues are special: we worked our buts off to get where we are I can't imagine the work behind someone crossing the purpled bar! Funny how the awe still lingers at purples and reds I point my finger! One of the merit badges that means the most to me is the Mentor one; and I'll tell you why. That someone feels I've helped that much gives me pause and makes me cry. I always try to be what I want to receive; tis the way to be, I believe. So that is my challenge and my joy being a mentor and honoring blue-- We're a special group with much to offer and I'm humbled to share it with all of you! |
