Memorial Day-Remember Their Sacrifice

     Memorial Day is a remembrance to those who have protected the United States of America.  These heroes gave their lives so that we could live safely, having the freedom to do whatever we want.  They should be honored and never forgotten.  Those who serve and have served in the United States military are some of the bravest men and women on Earth.  They defend America with their lives when they could easily have chosen a different path in life.  However, their decisions have forever made them heroes in the eyes of the public, and they should always be thought of as such.
     Remember this Memorial Day weekend that it is more than a three day weekend.  It is a day to honor the past, present, and future men and women who fell defending this great nation.  For it is their sacrifice which allows us to maintain our freedom, independence, and lifestyle.  They spent time away from their families for strangers they have never even met or who may have never thanked them.  However, they did it because they understand what they signed up for, what they were fighting for.  Anyone who can do that is someone who should be respected.  I could not imagine spending weeks, months, or years away from my loved ones.  I could not imagine being thrown into combat with a foreign enemy while the rest of the world comes home to a quiet evening.  All of this in the fight for something bigger than themselves, and they wore that honor with pride.
     So, we should do our part to respect the fallen and remember their sacrifice.  Honor the United States Armed Forces for what it stands for.  Thank the men and women in uniform who are away from their families to fight for the United States of America.  Be a patriot.  The country's strength derives from those who risk their lives in the name of freedom.  They deserve it.  God bless the United States of America and thank you to the United States military and the brave men and women who serve!

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you g...
