While it may be a challenge some days , all one can do is wake up and make the most of the hand they are dealt . If we collectively can do that , time will , in theory , be better .
I ’ d be remiss if I did not at least reflect on the summer NALJA had . Myself , along with my fellow past , and present board of directors would first and foremost like to say , “ Thank You !” Thank you to anyone who had a hand in making the American Showdown a tremendous event where memories were made to hopefully last a lifetime . Personally , I am thankful to be a part of a breed association that offers a true family-like atmosphere . We hope to continue with what we feel is an upward trend for our annual National Junior Limousin Show and Congress . No doubt the board works hard to make things the best we can !
As I transition into my new role of Ex-Officio , I am thankful to be able to serve an association that has given so much to me as an individual . While I may no longer be a “ junior ,” my passion for this breed has not waivered . The NALJA board has already begun to line things out for the next year and start planning , with the hope of becoming even better . Remember to never veer from a challenge , when presented with a test , never back down and give it your all . Stay resilient and make the most of every day because , “ Changes are comin ’, no doubt .”
