Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs . The sun is shining and the drivers are panicking, lol.
The wonderful part of being your best self is the journey of discovery of just how much you have to offer to others. It isn't about copying others but being your true, authentic best version of yourself. What can you do to get closer to that best version of yourself?

Have a wonderful Tuesday night, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, YOU are always superlative in every sense of character. In YOUR grace and mercy, YOU created each of us in YOUR image. We tend to focus on our faults at times and YOU remind us that the end of the matter is better than the beginning. YOU see us as perfected in justification and even in sanctification which we are going through.
I pray that YOU will enable each of YOUR adopted children to be increasingly more childlike as we age. Empower us to be selfless and to reach out to whomever YOU direct us to this Christmas season.
Rain love down upon YOUR adopted children and remove all hindrances from our character so that YOUR agape love will shine forth from each of us. Break down barriers in families and among friends – by love and not by force.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

I am not who I think I am. I am not who you think I am. I am who I think you think I am. -- Robert Schuller (I didn't put it in quotes because I can't find the exact wording. I'm paraphrasing what I think I remember)
If true, we can help others be better versions of themselves by thinking better of them (which is tough for a cynical old fart like me)
