LTC Stephen F. - And I hope you are doing the same! I just came back from an appointment for my wife at the doctor, and the traffic was horrendous! Plus It is in the mid-90's with high humidity. But I will not complain as it would do no good anyway! Lol!

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Find something to do for others that makes you so passionate that you forget about yourself.
That passion and caring will lift your spirit and restore your emotional balance. What can you do that allows you to put your ego aside and give?
