Hi everyone. It has been a long time since I've updated, thanks to many distractions and a lot of stress. I'm going to make an attempt to get the ball rolling on this again, and decided that today is no better day to start than any other. Without further adieu...
...I'd like to start with a challenge. Don't worry, this is any easy one. Maybe. Here's a question for you: what do you do with your life to honor the sacrifices of those who have fought for you or currently fight for you? We all have differing viewpoints on whether certain wars are worth fighting, but the bottom line is that over many, many, maaaaanny years, a lot of good people have gone off to battle believing that they were doing so for the best interest of the country. They fight, and die, for the rights and privileges that we all get to enjoy. The ease of posting a Facebook update once a year thanking the troops doesn't really resonate well with me. If you want to thank them, please do something for them. Support the Troops or the USO might be a good start, or you could always see if you could help out with Veteran's Affairs. And you know what, if you don't want to help out the members of the military, then simply try to help out your fellow man every once in a while. Hold the door open for someone, stop and help push a car out of the road, or just give a warm greeting to the bogged-down cashier at your grocery store. Keep in mind that even when we struggle, we still often enjoy so much. We overlook how good we have it because we don't truly know of the plight of others. Do what you can to help out, because it often costs you nothing to do the right thing.
