“People sleep peaceably in their beds at
night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” - George Orwell (25 June 1903 – 21 Jan 1950) |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This observance is celebrated each year on the third Saturday in May.
Remember those wonderful, inspiring Armed Forces Day Parades back in the early
sixties?? Sigh.

From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 05/13/13 - "#1 Relationship Key":
The Key to a Great
Relationship By Kathleen E. Sims This will not be new news to you - however, please keep reading.
The Key to a Great Relationship is Authenticity - read on to know what I
mean by this. Step 1 Do Forgiveness on the other and yourself, so you feel centered. An effective method is to write forgiveness statements repeatedly, until you feel a shift. Step 2 Tell your partner that you have something you want to talk to them about, and ask if the two of you can set up an uninterrupted time to have a discussion? Do not talk about the subject yet. Make certain the time you set will be enough time so you can complete the communication, and the other will have an opportunity to respond - until a conclusion is drawn. Step 3 When you meet: Start with telling them you appreciate their time and willingness. Then tell them what you are afraid will happen during the discussion. (ie. I am afraid you will interrupt, or not listen, etc.) Step 4 Make requests of them that will help take care of your fears. (ie. I would like you not to talk until I am done, etc.). Ask for their agreement on each item separately. Always honor the other's 'Free Will' to make their choice about what they are willing to do. Ask if there is any request they have for you in supporting the environment. The purpose of this is to set up a safe atmosphere so the honest communication can happen. Step 5 Now you will be able to speak more calmly and clearly about the subject. Only use 'I' statements. (No interruptions - take turns, use deep listening skills and paraphrase back what you heard - checking for accuracy of meaning.) Step 6 When you are complete, allow the other to say whatever they need to. If the subject calls for it - make requests, negotiate, and come to a Win/Win Agreement. If by chance, completion can't occur at this time, set up a specific time when you will resume - and say what you will commit to thinking over until then. Step 7 Acknowledge the other for keeping the Agreements you started with, and for participating fully, etc. As we begin to build a new history by Being Truly Authentic, we discover that it is possible to Effectively Deliver Uncomfortable Communications, and both parties come out the other side, better as a result. Magically our 'stack' begins to diminish, allowing our trust to strengthen and our connections to get deeper. From Being Truly Authentic with our Partner, we grow in trust, and love has a fertile ground to flourish. About the Author: Kathleen E.

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 05/17/13:
An
elderly couple is beginning to notice that neither of them
seem to be able to remember things as well as they used to.
So, they go to see their doctor, who explains that there is nothing really wrong with you, just typical memory loss associated with old age. He suggests that they each get notebooks and write notes to themselves to help remember things. The couple goes home and that evening while watching T.V. the man gets up and heads for the kitchen. His wife asks if he can bring her some ice cream when he returns. He says he will, and she says he should write it down. "I’m just going to the kitchen, I'll remember." "Well, I want that with nuts, too." "O.K. he says ice cream with nuts." She asks again if he's going to write it down. "No, I'm just going to the kitchen." "And a cherry on the top?" He agrees and turns toward the kitchen again and she asks again about writing it down. Now the old man is angry, "Look, old lady I'm not senile, I can remember ice cream with nuts and a cherry on top." He goes in the kitchen for 10 minutes and when he returns he sets a plate of bacon and eggs in front of his wife. She looks up and says, "Honey, you forgot my toast." |
