Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. The weather has turned cold and windy but I am safe and warm this morning with a big cup of coffee and very thankful for it.
Gracious. Something that costs nothing but the return is often so huge. Be kind, be courteous and be gracious as often as you can. You will come out on top of virtually every situation. Always try the honey first, if that doesn't work you can then switch to vinegar but it doesn't work the other way around. It is a rare situation when being gracious is a drawback.

Good Monday morning Burroughs' Posse Leader from a blustery Greater Boston Area, where the wind is blowing NW 13, gusting to over 20 mph and expected to increase as the day moves on... Currently 36° with 66% humidity... Running behind a bit since the time change, so will finish up shortly...Just got back, so here is the rest of my Quote Response for today...
“Gracious Day!” Why Not?
1) "The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself." - Doris Lessing
2) "It must never be forgotten...that the liberties of the people are not so safe under the gracious manner of government as by the limitation of power." - Richard Henry Lee
3) "The real champions in life are so humble and gracious. They just continue doing what they do without all the posturing. If you've got the real thing, you don't have to flaunt a loud imitation." - Denis Waitley
4) "And you know, when you've experienced grace and you feel like you've been forgiven, you're a lot more forgiving of other people. You're a lot more gracious to others." - Rick Warren
5) "God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator." - Tullian Tchividjian
“The Leader that is gracious creates an environment of graciousness by greeting those that follow him or her openly, and they maximize their influence and effectiveness. They are tough yet have a gentle internal and outward strength. That leader is comfortable with themselves, yet aggressive and kind at the same time.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

MSG Felipe De Leon Brown
Great set of quotations, Terry. I sometimes wish that I would read what everyone else has to say and/or offer. However, I am determined to do what I can to be a better me. And that means that words must reflect the path that I now follow. LOL. Anyway, Terry, I am anxiously awaiting another of your personal insights.
