I was talking to a friend the other day that is always in my peripheral vision but never in the direct line of sight. Wonderful person; friendly, compassionate, always has time to listen but a non-Relayer who at the start of relay had stepped in, without a word, and shouldered my responsibilities in a project. Great person! We had reached a point in the conversation where I was thanking them for taking on my responsibilities and expressing my Relay created reasons for not doing them myself, when I said "I am so sorry you don't Relay ... " My mild mannered friend turned on me, jumped square in my face and announced, "I DO RELAY FOR LIFE!". I know my confusion showed as I stood rapidly shuffling mental notes, looking for the team or committee my friend was on - nothing! I stood there wordless. “DARN IT!” I thought. My friend was hard working but obviously very confused - I was positive they didn't Relay and was now searching for the right words to point that out and not hurt feelings.' My friend continued "I Relay by stepping up here!"
*blink* I sat there.
There are truly so many different ways to Relay. *smiling*
I am such a goob at times.
