I'm very thankful for my attitude. I have not always had a good attitude. In fact, for most of my life my attitude Sucked. Royally. I guess this thank you goes out to Rueben, because it was something that he said that made me change my way of thinking.
Mark had just quit camp staff that day, and I was left the job of passing the news and reading his goodbye letter, over and over.
Well, Rueben was already in the commissary, and I went in there to 1, escape the crowd 2, mop-up a puddle from the ice-machine. We got talking and a few other people came in. Matt started complaining about staff, Gary, and conditions.
Rueben just sort of looked at him and said "You know what your problem is? It's all about attitude. If you choose to be here, and be happy than it will be a good expirience."
I wrote him a thank you note for that little speech. It was Exactly what I needed to hear.
Simple words, but I remember tham when I'm having a bad day.
