Good morning, Mikel! Great quotes today. I enjoy this one by Keats: "Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?" - John Keats
I think our pains and troubles teach us a great deal about living a soulful life. Can you imagine a life of character without enduring pain or l misfortune?

Not a bit. I can imagine a life with the opportunity to learn that might be less encumbered by negative forces however. Those of us who are older must make it our duty to blunt the edge of the sword of chaos and spiritual murder which is always attempting to cut through the vulnerable souls of our youth.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs good day my friend, absolutely spot on: Life is journey not a destination in my honest opinion. Always learning with mistakes in the equation.

That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. God never gives you more than you can handle... sometimes we forget that and neglect to ask for help when needed. Morning Col and hope you are prepared for your epic journey.

Maj Marty Hogan Currently sitting the airport in New York City, LaGuardia waiting on a plane to fly back to Denver, CO, so I can get on the motorcycle to ride right back to the East Coast in (3) days. Ironic, but the cause is great Marty and well worth the 4,163 miles to help veterans get out from under financial healthcare debt. I'll be posting everyday with updates, pics, some personal videos. May even have some local TV Stations interview me along the way to help increase awareness and contributions. I need $6.00 from 4,163 people in order to raise $25,000. I will use that to abolish 100% of $2 Million in healthcare debt for Veterans across this country. That is huge and will have a major impact on their lives. Marty you and your family have a great day my friend.
