Memorial Day
I know this weekend is a holiday weekend, but this one is going to be a little different and it reminds me how we just zip through life doing our thing and not smelling our roses. This is a rose I want to share.
First off, it's Memorial Day. It's a day to stop, and picture the ones who came before us, who gave their lives to ensure our beliefs were protected, and just somehow, in our own way, say thanks. Most of us will, somehow, make peace in our minds for those who have, and are serving our country. As a pacifist, I truly wish their jobs to defend was struck from their job descriptions and eliminated. I also know as a realist that won't happen, nor should it, until it is time. It's just not time. That day will only come when each of us, in the moment, and in every moment, chose love over fear. It should be rule#1 we teach but yet it's the last thing we teach.
I'm stopping to picture the regimens, the platoons, the privates out of boot camp, the pilots, deck personal who launch the planes at sea, the Blue Angels and their team, and all those who passed through the service unharmed. YOU ALL MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO WHAT I DO, AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DID!
I do encourage your thoughts and look forward to always serving the best I can!
