Hey
:)
He told me that there were 212 vying for 177 spots, but not that the ones who
didn't make it would still be enlisted! Goodness!
He called today and said that he got about 275 on his PT test - that's
fabulous! I think 300 is the top score. He graduated BCT with a score of
250. I think he'll be fine
:) He's so awesome, and I
think that the top guys there will see that too
:)
Miss you guys :)

Cherokee Wisdom
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that
goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves'
inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and
ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied ...."The one you feed."
Thanks, Ruthie -
that's good to remember!

From SelfGrowth.com - 10/06/08 - "10 Ways To Deal With Negative Thinking, Panic, And Paralyzing Fears ":
Motivation -
10 Ways To Deal With Negative Thinking, Panic, And
Paralyzing Fears
By Peter Murphy
Oct 2, 2008
I recently heard from a friend who had been
laid off at the newspaper she worked at because of the faltering economy. She
didn't have many job leads and her motivation was at an all-time low. She felt
that there was nothing more frightening than being a writer in an uncertain job
market.
Panic and fear quickly took over; where would she go from go from there?
How would she pay her bills?
How would she cope with uncertainty?
Her mind was plagued with self-doubting, self-defeating thoughts and she began
to spiral out of control, right into a dangerous state of anxiety that
threatened to paralyze her into stagnant ground forever.
As she began to realize what a toll her predicament was leaving her in, it
became clear to her that she needed to take action and do something to get
herself out of the hole she was in.
Once she sat down and began to reflect on things, working through the paralyzing
fear and the negativity that came along with the devastation of losing her dream
job and having to start over from the beginning, everything started to make
sense and she was on a roll!
Sometimes it takes a moment of crisis to help us refocus our thoughts and
energies into what we want our professional and personal goals to be and what we
need to accomplish.
The following points will help you focus and concentrate on the positive rather
than dwell on the negative, motivating you to move forward into action rather
than leaving you stuck in a rut.
Reading through them should help you gain some perspective into your particular
situation:
1. Allow yourself to be upset and grieve if things have
gone wrong
Sometimes you suffer from start-up inertia because you’re having to make a new
start and you’re stubbornly holding on to the way things were.
It is perfectly normal to feel panicked, upset, angry, sad, even outraged; you
wouldn't be human if you didn’t feel that way.
Take some time to get in touch with those feelings.
The night my friend got laid off she drove home, fell into bed and literally
could not move for 45 minutes.
Then she called me.
I got her to get up, take a long shower, change into some comfortable clothes,
and then she spent some time sat in front of the television watching 'Friends'.
Give your mind and body time to settle into the initial shock of change,
whatever it may be. But focus primarily on how you feel and let those feelings
out.
2. Take a DEEP BREATH!
Your mind deserves it, your body deserves it, your lungs deserve it.
Taking deep breaths improves circulation, calms anxiety and helps you focus.
Once you're done moping, take a deep breath and start to move.
3. Organize your home, organize your life
Is your house a mess? What about your room or your home office? Can you not see
yourself going through the piles of papers on top of your desk? Have you looked
at your bills lately and seen what you have?
If you haven't done any of these things, now is the time to do it.
There is nothing more stressful when we are in a state of panic than a living
space that has no room for us to live in it.
So tackle the mess; wash those clothes, clean out that pantry, throw out the
clutter, get those bills out of the way.
You'll be surprised how much more motivated you will be when you surround
yourself with cleanliness and order.
4. Surround yourself with positive people
Now would be a good time to reconnect with friends that you haven't spoken to in
a while, or even with the friends that you talked to just yesterday, those
friends that always have an encouraging word, who are helpful and positive.
Do yourself a favor and avoid people who are always down in the dumps, or who
always have something negative to say.
However:
5. Don't confuse negativity with constructive criticism
Some friends may seem like they're helping but they're just feeding the
cynicism. Conversely, friends that may appear to be negative are actually
offering ways to help by sharing your experiences and showing you a better way
to focus.
Listen to the people that are there for you, take what you can use, and dismiss
those things that you don't want to use or that you can't use. Don't allow
yourself to be brought down by it.
Take charge of your life again.
6. Have someone objective to talk to
When possible, sometimes having an objective third party to talk to and run
ideas by can be tremendously helpful.
In some cases, a therapist can be of vital importance in your growth process
towards finding yourself and focusing on your career and life goals. They can
provide you with a perspective that is sound, rational and unbiased, while still
keeping your best interests in mind.
7. Keep a journal of your progress
Write your ideas and your thoughts down and read over them the day after. You
will gain some valuable perspective and insight into your own growth and where
you are at.
8. Get out of the house!
Take your laptop or notebook to the local coffee shop or park, somewhere with
some interaction and get out into the world! This will give you a chance to get
out of the house and possibly meet some people, network and create some
opportunities towards accomplishing your goals.
9. Actively look for opportunities to do the things that
you love most and turn them into opportunities for you
Do you enjoy attending art shows? Love doing volunteer work? Do you like fishing
with friends or going to the library or attending meetings for local
organizations?
These are all things that would not only satisfy the craving for you to do
something that you enjoy, but it would also present you with opportunities to
network, meet people that could help you get ahead, and spend time taking care
of yourself and your mental and emotional health.
10. Finally, SMILE and BELIEVE!
Easier said than done, I know. Believe me, nothing about my friend’s situation
warranted a smile and some faith. But had she not kept herself smiling, it would
have been so much harder to be positive and pull out of that state of anxiety.
Believe in yourself and the things that you have accomplished and remember that
you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to do.
So get your coat, get your shoes, get your smile and go out into the world!
Taking heed of these valuable insights will help you create and maintain a
positive energy source in your life and keep inertia at bay. You will feel
better, be more motivated and definitely more at peace.
All it takes is for you to make that first move. Don't let panic paralyze you
into inertia. Anything is possible; it's up to you to make it happen!

From
Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 10/07/08 - "puns galore--letourneau, brace
yourself":
Following the financial crisis on Wall Street
uncertainty has now hit the banking sector in Japan.
In the last seven days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and
Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go
for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they
nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is
reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
A spokesman for Haiku Holdings was lost for words over the financial crisis,
while according to rumors Nippon Bank was starting to feel the pinch.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that
there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared staff may get
a raw deal.
Meanwhile Geisha Bank has bowed to the inevitable and shut.
One trader lamented: "It's all gone to Shiitake."
YIKES!!!
Thanks, Joyce!

When Will I Be Loved?
Written by Phil
Everly
(b. 19 Jan 1939)
(Linda
Ronstadt), 1974
(b. 15 July 1946)
I've been cheated,
Been mistreated,
When will I be loved?
I've been pushed down,
I've been pushed 'round,
When will I be loved?
When I find a new man
That I want for mine,
He always breaks my heart in two.
It happens every time.
I've been made blue,
I've been lied to,
When will I be loved?
When I find a new man
That I want for mine,
He always breaks my heart in two.
It happens every time.
Oh, I've been cheated,
Been mistreated,
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
Tell me, when will I be loved?
