But last night, at the monthly meeting, my gun club members gave me a lifetime membership and an award plaque for service and leadership.
I was floored. Seriously. So much so that I could not form words to say "thank you" properly for a while.
I'm not sure that I deserve it, but they all seem to think that I have given outstanding service. I just try and keep the club going, and pay it forward with work and by doing classes for new shooters and such. After all, I get to use the club that others before me built.... Keeping the tradition going so that the club and the facilities will be there for the next generation. I didn't think that I was doing anything special...... But the other members all congratulated me and felt that I have earned the reward.
It was pretty cool.
A REALLY nice ending to a day that didn't start well.

Congratulations.
It seems the most deserving often don't feel they're deserving at all. The whole "just doing my job" attitude.

Ditto what Pete and The Freeholder said..........
