"Enough" is a feast. ~Buddhist proverb
Why enough? Enough means we can say thanks. We can share. Time to stop obsessing and enjoy living. Enough is where gratitude begins. Look at all you have and let it be "enough".

I like a quote from Cicero, whom I have lately been reading.
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
I believe gratitude is the start of many of our virtues. COL Mikel J. Burroughs

I like that one - what can you have, if you don't have gratitude? I think that's my main trait - if I were to sit around being bitter about what I don't have instead of grateful for what I DO have - I'd sure be an unhappy person! Having done without even running water for 4 years, honey, I'm grateful for EVERY little thing :-)

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." Oprah Winfrey
This is probably one of the good things about going overseas. As a former combat cameraman, I got to witnessed how others live in other countries. We have it so good over here in the United States, and many people doesn't even realize. Shoot, even now with all that is going on in my native land of Puerto Rico, I'm still grateful with what I have.

That is a great one Marty - thanks! You and yours have a great Tuesday. The Flowers on the Grave at Fort Logan National Cemetery hosted by Memorial Day Flowers Foundation and Victory for Veterans Foundation was a huge success with over 200 volunteers laying 8,250 roses this year.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Great work honoring our Fallen Brothers!
I was fortunate to place several flowers at Arlington on Sunday, one at the headstone of SFC Paul R Smith, Medal of Honor Recipient from Iraq, one for my cousin's marker in one of the Columbarium niches, and one to a young, grieving Gold Star Widow, decorating her husband's grave. A wonderful group of scouts was placing the flowers.
