Saturday, January 6, 2018 - Motivational Quotes for the Day! Good Morning All!
Today is: "Normality Day!" Why Not?
Quote in the Picture: "Normality is a paved road: It's confortable to walk, but no flowers grow." ― Vincent van Gogh
"I have always thought of “normal” as a good thing. In the context of life, people and things, it has always resonated a feeling of contentment within me.
But after thinking about the above quote by Van Gogh, it made me realize that sometimes it’s good to not have so much normality surrounding you.
Having elements in your life that are unique and different is like turning the pages of a good book.
You don’t quite know exactly what is coming next or how things end up, but you’re eager to find out.
There is beauty in stepping outside of your comfort zone and experiencing things that aren’t in your nature. It encourages growth within us. ― fp Jana
"Normality is a fine ideal for those who have no imagination." ― Carl Jung
"Fear beyond rational limits forces people to cling to normality." ― Hiroya Oku
"The pursuit of normality is the ultimate sacrifice of potential. The chance for greatness, for progress and for change dies the moment we try to be like someone else." ― Faith Jegede
"NORMALITY - I don't see myself as a very intelligent person, but when I see so much stupidity around me, I became aware of how normal I am." ― Anonymous

SFC Greg Bruorton - That's okay - I like the fact that you've play guitar that long. I've plays the drums since I was 6 years old.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - We have more in common than not! I had a 1983 FLH, same color as yours (candy-apple red) with all the chrome. I had to sell it as it had a large hysterectomy and cash was sparse at the time. I rode it for 105K miles from NC, to AZ, to SD, NM, AR, and finally to LA and other sundry places. Really loved that beast! I gave away all my leathers to a missionary that visited the wife and me frequently.
I'm happy to learn you're still keeping active and young in music. ♫

COL Mikel J. Burroughs what a great word, after dealing with the death of my Father-In-Law, well received and much appreciated. Feels great to have my normality back in my life. So important too me.

My continued prayers for you and your wife, I know the feeling in losing a father or mother in law. They leave great memories behind.

Good morning COL. Normal, Who defines normal? Everybody is "Normal" in their own way and some see that as not normal while others think it is right in line.....Perception of what is normal....that is the underlying question. This is what makes the World an interesting place....Everybody's "Normal" Have a great Saturday...We may get above zero static but wind chill today is headed for -22 degrees...!!!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Alan K. We all have our own idiosyncrasy, abilities, and disabilities that make us humans unique. Without those we wouldn't have inventors, writers, artist, and the list goes on. Each indivdual has their own DNA and Makeup when it comes to their individual normal. If they try to be something else they think is normal than I believe they lose out on their unique character. Just some deep thought this morning. Try to saty warm my friend!
