Thank you COL Mikel J. Burroughs for the great inspirational and motivational quotations! I particularly like your quote on choosing the right attitude. Since this is the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, I would like to share a quote my grandfather used to repeat from Dr. King that always inspired me and one I always chose to do my best to emulate.
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Love the Rita Mae Brown quote- "...Experience comes from bad judgment." Wouldn't have learned anything if it weren't for the hard way. I can't recall ever taking the easy way out. Great Wednesday greetings to you COL Mikel J. Burroughs hope you and yours are doing well.

Umm, being in the middle of learning something the hard way, it's not fun. So thank you for the reminder that this has its purpose.

Too bad we can't learn it any other way. I have told friends, "You don't have to buy that t-shirt--you can wear mine." LOL
