"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." ― Dr. Seuss
I have started to live life this way and find it odd that my favorite childhood author is still affecting my life for the better. I feel every person I meet has been placed there by God for a purpose. I feel every experience I live through is a learning experience. I take nothing for granted and when I get feeling the other way, I think about how lucky I am and how blessed I am for the opportunties I have had. I know things will get better and chang my frame of mind. I try to live optomism every day. Great mid-week reset Col.

I pray that you and each one you love will have a joyful and peaceful night, my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
Heavenly Father, even now, YOU are fighting battles on our behalf. I pray that YOU send ministering angels to protect the little ones and those young in the faith. Help us to remember that our battles are primarily fought in the spiritual realm.
I pray that we learn to love our neighbors as ourselves including those who strive against us. Enable and empower each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to stand firm in the faith and to love others even as You first loved us.
Enable us to be peacemakers and encouragers to be bearers of hope to those in dire straits. Guide us in prayer and in action. Remind us to listen and hear and not to chomp at the bit to retort. I pray that YOU bless each who reads this with wisdom, discernment and compassion.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Love today's topic COL Mikel J. Burroughs I truly feel that optimism is a choice. We all get that same glass to look at and what we choose to see determines our actions going forward. I have learned to see the glass half full (or sometimes even more than that, lol) because the other is incredibly unhelpful and a position from which it is difficult to get a successful result. Which one are you? Can you find ways and places in your life to be more optimistic? How would that look and what would that change?

Lt Col Charlie Brown - I can tell by your "Love Today's Topic" that you're very optimistic Charlie! (LOL). I almost used that quote you shared with us today, bcause it's awesome and really speaks to the message of having power and a positive attitude toward everything you face and do. Be very optimistic that you and Tom will have an awesome Wednesday Charlie!

SP5 Mark Kuzinski Don't blame you at all, but when I was in the UP we couldn't even think about things like winter dying until the snow tunnels along the road were at least 6' high, so way too early..
