Friday, March 16, 2018 - Motivational Quotes for the Day & Week! Good Morning Everyone!
There are 41 weeks and 291 days left until 2019!
I'm on the road again today until Wednesday, March 21, 2018, so I won't be able to respond to a lot of your wonderful comments and thoughts. COL B.
Today is: "Enjoy the Little Things Day!" Why Not?
"There are so many small things in life to enjoy, don't let them pass you by; embrace them." ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Enjoy the little things in life because someday you will look back and realize they were the big things." ― Robert Brault
"Sometimes the little things in life mean the most." ― Ellen Hopkins
"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important." ― Arthur Conan Doyle
"You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you." ― Andy Warhol
"The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things . . . the trivial pleasure like cooking, one's home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard." ― Barbara Pym
"Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact." ― Danny Wallace
"So many times we look for those things in life we can measure.... The college degree, the money we earn, the success we brag about.... But the little things in life, the minute moments...not taken for granted, the value of their treasure is substantial all the more. ― Samuel S. Sumner

I will give a quick analogy of all these quotes- someone asks what do you love about your wife. Well it is all the small things of who she is and what she does., It isn't any one thing that made her stand out to me. The small things add up to the big thing that is us. My career isn't anyone thing that has happened. It started many years ago in a barracks with 100 guys I did not know and leads up to this day in an office of 3 people and a unit of 1,000 peers. I am thankful for all of those small things that make up this one big crazy thing known as my life. Great Friday thoughts and have a great weekend and safe travels COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Good Red Friday morning to you, COL Mikel J. Burroughs, and safe travels until March 21st. As you suggest, I too work to embrace all small things in life. I conclude that G.K. Chesterton did also: "...the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” Cheers.

I like the way your response started , with the thought of wearing Red on Friday.. It may be a little thing to do but it means a lo to those of us that understand why we do it.

Thanks, SSG Thomas Barry. Doing so helps me keep my own head in the game. It's been Red Friday for me since September 21, 2001.
