HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!! To all the men and women who have served and are currently serving in our armed forces... Thank You for all that you do to protect our country. AND... to their families who also sacrifice so that their loved one can go to great lengths to defend our freedom... Thank you TOO! Today is the day to stop and remember our soldiers, but I hope that they feel appreciated everyday.
On another note.... I want to share a great meditation I read this morning about our attitudes.
Enthusiasm doesn't just happen to us. It's an attitude that is either fostered or hindered by our decisions about what we'll bring to our experiences -- from the most mundane to the momentous. This is true either throughout the day at hand or throughout our life. Deciding to be enthusiastic for a project comes easily when we've made up our mind to simply enjoy being alive.
Gratitude for our many blessings even further heightens our enthusiasm for living. We all know people who are bored with their jobs, who withdraw from social involvement. Most of these people have lost touch with their fundamental sense of gratitude for what life has given them.
The power to enjoy life fully, to bring enthusiasm to whatever we do, is within our grasp. In face, it's within our own mind.
I'll be as enthusiastic as I am grateful today.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day!!
