So it seems there is this 'disease' that many people get when they are nearing the end of a term. Named of course for the apparent (and often evident) lack of motivation by many high school student at the end of their last year. It is a condition that strikes at many. It is a condition that I have chosen to recognize and oppose deliberately in myself.
In my not so humble opinion, a Master of a Lodge can never allow himself to fall victim to the draw of Senioritis no matter how rough things get. A Lodge requires all of it's component members to remain ever vigilant. Especially the officers, elected and appointed. And most especially the Worshipful Master or Head of the Lodge. This has in recent days been brought to my attention, both directly and indirectly.
Directly in that some of my fraternal brothers have brought concerns they have directly to me, exactly as it should be. Indirectly by way of discovery from events and statements that remain in a state of constant confusion.
So in short, here's the surprise. I haven't quit, and I have checked myself against my peers. I remain ever vigilant because they remain so with me. I do not stand alone. That is comforting. That is the source of strength I have found.
