motivational monday: MOTIVIATIONAL MONDAY... What is on your mind - 06/27/11 09:04 AM

As of late I've been going in many different circles, with a lot on my mind.  Last week I had surgery again on my left knee, and have been preoccupied with that.  Never the less, during the night I wake up with so much on my mind... then I came across this quote (unknown author) and thought I would share it with others who might be tossing and turning too.
 
You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind.

"Find the cost of freedom, buried in  the ground."
Today is Memorial day, this is the day when we should take some time our of our day to remember the lives of our servicemen and women and honor them.  Some gave the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy today, and every other day.

 
No matter what your plans are, I hope everyone has an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend, and that you are able to enjoy some of the activities that will be going on in you community and with your families.

It is almost lunch time here on the east coast, and while going through some reading materials, I came across this quote.. thought I would share it.. it seems befitting for the time of day.  I even got a chuckle out of it.. though looking at it again, it is probably true for the person.

motivational monday: MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY... FRIENDSHIP - 03/28/11 12:04 PM
As most of us do, we get caught up in our daily lives.  Before you know it a week or two has gone by since you have seen or talked with a particular friend.  Today I made a point of going back to Brookfield CT and and getting reacquainted with people I hadn't seen in a while.  It felt good to go home. 
With this, I thought this quote was appropriate to motivate us on a Monday.
