Day 1 of the Workshop, Hour 1:
A show of hands...
How many of you thought you would be "the worst one" here?
(All hands go up)
How many of you hoped the workshop would be canceled?
(Most hands go up)
How many of you are eyeing the door and plotting your escape?
(Some hands go up)
When Janet used to travel to other locations such as Chicago and San Diego, she would hear interesting things about the members' anticipatory anxiety. One went to such lengths as to say, "
I was hoping that somehow you wouldn't make it, not that I wished harm upon you, but that your flight wouldn't come in and the workshop would be canceled".
Janet has told this story many times with a big smile on her face, being able to relate.
Yes, there is actually humor and lots of it at the workshop!
