Good morning Col Burroughs and Happy Hump day Posse!
I love it when I am successful at being in the groove. Even the most difficult project seems to flow smoothly and every thing falls into place. I can always tell when the whole team comes along; the writing and editing of the material just flows. It's like a well coordinated dance and the results are great. We are almost there with the two latest workshops and we are hoping to roll them out in December.

I expect you are thankful for the opportunity to serve and lead when called upon by the nation, your family and your call to duty. No doubt you fell into a leadership/service groove or were led there and functioned accordingly until you extricated yourself from that groove or were pulled up by a mentor. 'Iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another.' [Proverbs 27:17 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray that each of us take time to demonstrate thanks to the LORD on Thanksgiving by loving our family members, thank those who are working to prepare food, serving the food and cleaning up the mess and all steps in between. YOU remind us that we demonstrate our love for YOU by how we love those around us. 'For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word. “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” [Galatians 5:13-14 ESV],
I lift those traveling this Thanksgiving season locally, nationally and internationally to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU protect those traveling as they travel and at their destination. Enable them to feast, enjoy family time and fellowship safely.
I pray for the homeless, the downtrodden around the world, the sex-trafficked, the falsely imprisoned and others in desperate circumstances. LORD I pray that YOU pour out a large measure of love, peace, and joy on each. I pray for endurance, discernment, and practical skills for those falsely imprisoned and sex-trafficked. I pray that YOU open doors to secure their freedom and that YOU motivate trustworthy counselors to help each one recover from their ordeals.
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thanksgiving morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

Good Wednesday morning, Burroughs' Posse Leader from a now overcast Greater Boston... "Groovy" Post today Colonel and after I hit the shower, I'll be all over it! LOL!!! Have a great day, Mikel...
I have to tell you that after I finished my shower and went up to my office, I was able to get into RP for about 20-seconds, then POOF!!! Received an RP Error Meme... and that was the way it went... It is almost 2pm and I completed a haircut appointment, an errand run, have had lunch with my wife and just sat down... Lord knows how this response will end up! LOL!
“Groove Day!” Why Not?
MYQUOTE:
People seem to think of a groove or being groovy as a track on a 33 1/3 record... Well, in a way, it is a track, but it is a track in the album of life... A good one or a bad one... When one gets into the Good Groove track anything is possible, however, if you slip into the rutty track, it leads to trouble all the way... Seek that really good "Groovy" track and run that track as long as you can." - Kerry F. Harkins, November 25, 2020
1) "Once we get into the groove, we're kind of like long-distance runners - that adrenalin kicks in for me and I just keep running - and I don't stop!" - Keith Urban
2) "Your thoughts construct patterns like scaffolding in your mind. You are really etching chemical patterns. In most cases, people get stuck in those patterns, just like grooves in a record, and they never get out of them." - Steve Jobs
3) "How much do people really want to learn? I mean, some people get into a groove and they stay with it indefinitely. And what starts off as a great moment of explosive passion can end up as cabaret 25, 30 years later. It just depends on whether you go and find the right habitat to extend yourself." - Robert Plant
4) "The groove is so mysterious. We're born with it and we lose it and the world seems to split apart before our eyes into stupid and cool. When we get it back, the world unifies around us, and both stupid and cool fall away. I am grateful to those who are keepers of the groove. The babies and the grandmas who hang on to it and help us remember when we forget that any kind of dancing is better than no dancing at all." - Lynda Barry
5) "All the greatest men are maniacs. They are possessed by a mania which drives them forward towards their goal. The great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders - all maniacs. What else but a blind singleness of purpose could have given focus to their genius, would have kept them in the groove of purpose. Mania... is as priceless as genius." - Ian Fleming
6) "You form a society: that limits you. Adopt a name, and you've limited yourself again; draw up a constitution and bylaws and you've made a groove, a rut, that hampers your growth. You think you can fix your course and move straight along it. But sometimes the important thing is to strike out sidewise." - Robert Henri
Have you ever noticed that most of our leadership in this world seems to be in a positive groove and note that...
“Leaders that make things happen usually get into a groove and make anything happen through a positive attitude and their actions – time to get your groove on!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

My groove this morning was driving to base for my annual physical. Since then it's been chaos helping get ready for dinner tomorrow, no guests but Vicki has to keep the tradition of cooking like there will be. Great quotes.

Tha is so awesome Alan K. your business is definitelyt in the groove my friend - keep that upbeat 'groove' going Alan... Give our best to Stevie and the family Alan...
“Some days you can feel like you’re in a ‘rut’ and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. That is when you need to pick yourself up and get that groove going once again. Getting back into a groove is a mindset and takes will power and self-motivation. Sometimes it’s as easy as taking a walk, exercising, or reimaging yourself. If you’re in the groove you’re making things happen and realizing your goals and your dreams. May you get your groove moving in the right direction; may you have the right inspiration and attitude to get into your own personal groove and help others feel your momentum; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful life that matters; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. ‘Find your grove — make a move.’ Today!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
