~:[CH14 - Day 32]:~ When Life Boils Over
Conferences can get tough. I was receiving messages from those at HB talking about their committees, while I watched our delegates face the ups and downs of committee back here in Vancouver. Part of being an advisor is managing their emotions especially when it reaches that boiling point. Luckily, we didn't have a situation where it got to that point, still yet, we had to deal with managing a few things here and there. Watching them learn to address these changing dynamics and figuring out the solutions you their problems are life lessons that they'll carry with them for life. Sure they're learning about pressing international issues, but more importantly, they're gaining skills they can use, especially when life boils over. We reconvened together and enjoyed a delicious team dinner as we celebrated the end of a very long trip. It's been exhausting, but I know that each of us learned and each of us created memories that will last us a lifetime. The pots that were once full with the broth fully boiling had been reduced to a simmer as we similarly enjoyed a calm night of packing after a packed week. Life will have a range of emotions and conditions, but if we manage it right, we can enjoy the calm together at the end of it all.
