White Rabbit-itis

Phyllis A. Harmon, DTM

Editor/Publisher

I feel like the White Rabbit from the Adventures of Alice in Wonderland.

A litany of must do’s are running through my mind as I hold my pocket
watch and hurry to the next item on my list of What-Must-Be-Done
TODAY!! I devoted the day to submitting television episodes to the

local cable station, coaching a member or two, and searching for just
the right graphics to enhance the many articles contained in this issue
of Voices!
What has hit me squarely between the eyes is that I will never catch
up! Each moment must have a purpose. Just like education, learning

and tasks are never done. One lesson or task leads to another, and
another, and then more beyond those. Sheesh! Makes me tired just
thinking about all the life lessons and lists of tasks yet to come.

And just yesterday another Must-Do slipped through the door. Did
you know that Toastmasters International, in their infinite wisdom, EDITORIAL
revealed that Toastmasters Leadership Institute should be held in
November? That change alone loses the District two planning months.
So much for carefully planned schedules. Juggling has never been a

strong suit of mine, and I certainly don’t have the dexterity I had in my
younger days to keep all the balls in the air! Oh well, we Toastmasters
learn to be nimble and change direction on a moment’s notice. So be

it, I’ll just add November TLI to the list.
Enough conversation. It’s time to get back to that litany
of must do’s before anything else changes . . . Do you have
any idea where I dropped that danged pocket watch??
