YHC was asked to take the Q for Monday Mash and answered immediately in the affirmative.  When asked to take the Q the HIM says “YES! May I have another PLEASE!” Oops. That’s part of another story! Anyhow when asked to Q say yes. YHC and other PAX can testify to the benefits of living 3rd by taking the Q. If the reason for saying no is fear of failure “for get about it”. Oops! Another movie reference! Actually embrace the suck. YHC has learned that when he moves out of his comfort zone amazing things happen. Well, while this Q was not outside of YHC’s comfort zone the plan for the beatdown would definitely push everyone. Now YHC is known for his untimely arrivals but this morning was an exception. As the PAX began to roll in the numbers swelled to double digits. Only one brave soul did not have on long sleeves and one who wore shorts had socks so long that Santa couldn’t have filled it nor could Wimpie with one of his “emergency” visits to to woods. Well, enough prattle. The 5:30 hit on the watch and we were off…like a dirty shirt!

YHC is honored when asked to Q. All the kidding aside what this post was about for YHC was how far we all have come. It was during the Christmas season last year that YHC encountered One Word. Over this past year YHC has been focused on the word “Give”. It comes to YHC during a post, at work, driving, reading, laughing and when YHC takes himself and his plans a little to seriously because they are not HIS plans. Giving of ourselves is what taking the Q means. It is how YHC remembered what the true purpose of a HIM is…to GIVE. Taking the Q is not about who is the baddest, toughest, roughest (although it’s cool when guys are about to splash) it’s about being willing to push to the limit and a little further. It’s about making sure the men who got out of the fartsack and posted walk away knowing they are better for having spent time with the Q. What will be your word for the coming year. Give One Word a try. http://getoneword.com/ That’s living 3rd. That is F3. See you in the gloom.
