A little bird told me....

"Sometimes I think the greatest bravery of all is simply to get up in the morning and go about your business" ~ Lady Bird Johnson


Lady Bird penned that in her journal on January 3rd, 1966. I read it and immediately got this self serving flash of enthusiasm about using this quote to open a whining session about how unmotivated I have been lately and how hard it is to fund raise. Poor me. Whatever.

After that passed, I started thinking about how this quote applies to the ones who actually have to wake and be brave when starting the day.

When I get up, I make coffee, check email, yell at the cat (sorry, but she meows almost nonstop no matter how much food I pour in her) and review my list for the items I want to tackle.

Think about Lady Bird's sentiment. How do you approach your day? How do others approach theirs?

I know I am not starting my day from a combat zone far from home, scorching heat and the often times very real threat to my safety.

Seems to me that would involve actual bravery, especially that 'threat to my safety' part!

That just puts a whole new, very real spin on it, huh? I don't feel like sniveling anymore.

Please find a way to support our fellow Americans serving.

Thank you.
