“Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.” – Isak Dinesen
Generation Gaps Are Nothing New
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” – Socrates (OR a summary of ancient Greek philosopher’s thoughts)
Thank a Veteran
When you see a soldier, past or present, short or tall,
Doing their military duty, answering their country’s call;
Take a moment to thank them, for protecting what you hold dear;
Tell them you are proud of them and make it very clear.
Just tap them on the shoulder, give them a smile and say,
“Thanks for what you’ve done and sacrificed to keep us safe today.”
