Birka Day Two

 January 24th

Intention for the day: Look for the positive/proactive side in all the exchanges possible.

Here are some happy things from today:

• Much of the early part of my day was spent volunteering at the event.  I also attended a meeting for exchequers (treasurers).  There is a possibility that I will be doing that again.
• I got to spend a little bit of time with my new protégés.  They both know that I want them to update their information on their wiki pages.  
• I ended up having a lot of fun with a friend who tried to steal a French fry from me.  It became a lovely game of trying to get a snack without the other noticing. 
• During court this afternoon some wonderful people were given awards for their deeds.  One of these people is a dear friend and the current Seneschal of our Barony.  He was made a Member of the Order of the Mark.  This is a new peerage level award in the SCA.  Here is a link that describes the current peer ages.  

• There was an after court party to celebrate that I attended.   This was a good place to sit and talk with people.  It was a good day.

End of day intention wrap up:  Until I got tired, and even some after, I feel I kept positive.  Even when tired and some friends and I had something to vent over, I was able to turn it around to a how can this be improved type conversation instead.
