The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day
Good "Monday" Morning Everyone ― August 13, 2018
Today is: "Don't Stress Yourself Day!" Why Not?
"You can be your own worse enemy when it comes to stress. Learn to take a deep breath, step back, survey and assess the situation at hand or problem you need to solve. The more you stress the worse the issue can become. You've got this." ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Nothing is permanent. Don't stress yourself too much because no matter how bad the situation is... it will change." ― Unknown Author
"Do your best and let the rest go. You can't be perfect, no matter how hard you try, so give yourself credit for making an effort, and try to stop stressing about the outcome." ― Lori Deschene
"More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate." ― Roy T. Bennett
"If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good." ― Śāntideva
"Don't let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries." ― Astrid Alauda
"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another." ― William James
"When you find yourself stressed, ask yourself one question: Will this matter in 5 years from now? If yes, then do something about the situation. If no, then let it go." ― Catherine Pulsifer
"Stress should be a powerful driving force, not an obstacle." ― Bill Phillips

Good Morning COL. "Don't stress yourself Day"
Looks like I am going to need it if all this technology makes my life any easier....!
Today's plan is to methodically finish my task of taking the dash apart and marking every wire....There are plenty! So the quote of the day is yours my Friend:
"You can be your own worse enemy when it comes to stress. Learn to take a deep breath, step back, survey and assess the situation at hand or problem you need to solve. The more you stress the worse the issue can become. You've got this." ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
Have a great Monday COL Mikel J. Burroughs and say hey to Bella and your Mom, remember to thank her for not rearranging the house while you were gone....Moms get bored!

Alan K., I think you can rest assured about the technology issue because I don’t think it was you since I was having a problem earlier as well and assumed it was my slow connection here. Whenever i tried to post something, nothing was happening and if I tried to add people’s names I couldn’t do that either.

SPC Daniel Rankin
I have found that sometimes just getting away from technology and getting down to basics is more relaxing and less stress. I for one go out into either my garden or my wood shop. They both can be a stress reliever. Just by having some type of hobby can relieve stress. At a young age I even learned how to use a sewing machine and that can relax me at times. Like I said any type of hobby will do.

Good morning Mikel and all of RallyPoint! I like this quote:
"When you find yourself stressed, ask yourself one question: Will this matter in 5 years from now? If yes, then do something about the situation. If no, then let it go." ― Catherine Pulsifer
I adapt it in a different way however. Will it matter tomorrow? Will it matter in a week? In a month? In a year. If not, forget about it!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - It was my first day of school. It went very well. A couple of challenging students, but I'll work with them and get them ready for high school next year.

"Hartland" sounds like a nice place to be. I'd guess cherries, but it looks like apple country. Here, it's just "peachy". ;-)
