Saturday, July 7, 2018 — The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day! Good Morning Everyone from Amarillo, TX once again.
Rolled into Amarillo, TX at 7:40 PM after getting pounded by rain for the last 106 miles after departing Fort Hood, TX. Headed to the "Eagle's Nest!" today!
Today is: "Wanderlust Day!" Why Not?
As I get older my wanderlust is ignited on my cross country motorcycle adventures and all the new learning I've acquired; amazing what I missed as a youth. Let the new learning begin. — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "And then I realized that adventure was the best way to learn." — Unknown Author
"My restless, roaming spirit would not allow me to remain at home very long." — Buffalo Bill
"Not all those who wander are lost." — J. R. R. Tolkien
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." — Mark Twain
"When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen." — A.A. Milnie
"People don’t take trips, trips take people." — John Steinbeck
"Travel far enough, you meet yourself." — David Mitchell
"We all deserve a little wanderlust." Unknown Author

"We are all pilgrims who seek Italy," said Goethe. We just have to find our own Italy!

Lt Col Charlie Brown
So many people have a narrow view because they've never traveled or met people unlike themselves

Sgt Deborah Cornatzer
Lt Col Charlie Brown - so true... one of the aspects I recall especially from Basic Training was the variety of people I met there. While it demonstrated our individuality, it also created the esprit de corps. Over the years, I have valued greatly these kinds of experiences.

Not all those that wander are lost. Pretty spot on and describes my last 10 years. A lot of these should hit anyone in the military. We are at times a nomadic tribe and yet others rooted prone to frequent departures. Great Saturday thoughts Col. Safe travels brother.
