Expectations should be managed- never assume others are as married to a project as you are and never assume the result in your mind will be exact. Conversely, never set your expectations of others so low as a leader that you fail to earn their best. Happy Thursday and hope everyone had a great Christmas.

I expect that you had a wonderful Boxing Day and that your expectations as well as any family member’s expectations for gifts were met and hopefully exceeded Marty.
I pray that you and I submit our plans to the LORD each day and yield to HIS guidance routinely, my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
Thank YOU, LORD, for managing our desires and expectations. YOU purge us of desires that are detrimental for us and those we care about and lead. I am grateful that YOU birth desires into our heart/soul that YOU fulfil in YOUR perfect timing.
YOU are our HOPE and the fulfillment of our expectations is YOUR domain. YOU provide visions and dreams to YOUR own and others for the benefit of YOUR adopted children.
I lift leaders of families, corporations and governments from local through national level who place their trust in YOU. I pray that YOU bless each with wisdom to lead and compassion to minister.
I pray that YOU bless many of the homeless families in this nation including those of military veterans with a home in the coming year that exceeds their expectations.
I am grateful that YOU accept each one of us as we are with no prerequisite other than trusting YOU at YOUR Word.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs There are people who will live up to your expectations and those who will not. Part of success in life, is sorting out those two types. I find that it is best to put the expectations on myself rather than other people, because I know my own strengths and limitations. Part of the issue with expectations and others is a lack of clarity; often we have expectations and we fail to sufficiently explain them to others. When setting expectations, be clear and precise about what you expect and you will have a better level of success.

Our family tradition has been to Squeek out as much of the “Ho Ho Ho” as possible, & take everything down on New Years Day.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday!!
The tree will be lit just a few more days... ;)

Good morning COL. "Expectation Day" ......
I will always remember this one....Came from my training way back when I was with Friendly's of Wilbraham :
"Inspect what you expect with Respect".....
If you want to excel:
“Expect more from yourself than from others.” — Unknown Author
Then you will always be ahead of the game....
Hope you had a fine Christmas Day, and a quiet Christmas night by the Fire...
Good morning to Bella and Mom.....
