Attitude, The Ultimate Power: I am grateful to the men and women who serve!

Why read Monday Morning Power?

You will find a consistency and a focus in all of my content that can change your attitude which can fuel a positive change in your life, if you want it to. If you are happy with your attitude and your life and see no reason for changing, then you either already have a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude), or you are a victim and want to hold onto your misery. These postings will then serve to fortify the person with PMA, or, hopefully, convince the "victim" that there is a better way. This site will contain essays, poems, stories, humor and links, all with the same goal: The pursuit, capture, care and feeding of a Positive Mental Attitude. I have had readers tell me that they have spent hours on my site and feel great about themselves both during and after. I log onto my own site frequently to help fuel my attitude; I hope you will as well.

My son is a captain in the Army and he is going over to Iraq in 2 weeks for his third deployment. I am proud that he is my son and I am GRATEFUL for all of the men and women who are in our armed services to protect us.

Whether you believe in this war or not, I hope that we are all grateful to our sons & daughters, husbands & wives, mothers and fathers who put their lives on the line every day so that we may all be free. God Bless you all.

I tear up every time I see this commercial. I think that it is the best commercial ever made.

I would like to tag EVERYONE who reads this to create your own "Statement of Gratitude" and share it with us.

*Start Copy*
In order to be able to achieve and maintain happiness we need to, actively, be able to do two things:

Complain and then let go (Dump the baggage, the roadblocks to happiness.)
Express Gratitude (The open expression of gratitude promotes happiness.)

After all everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to share, please follow the appropriate link and do so: "Are You Grateful?", "Complain Complain Complain."

DubLiMan said...: Hi Nick,
Thank you for your sentiment and support. He is currently stationed in Fort Lewis, WA. He is chief intelligence officer for their special Forces unit. Officially, he is Ranger qualified and airborne. Mid-May he will be going to Iraq for an 8 month (hopefully shorter and not longer) deployment.; April 16, 2008 at 2:09 PM
