Why complain if you're not willing to make a difference?
Why complain if you’re not willing to make a difference? Thanks to MGST Retired R. Branch for this post.
Going through this thing called life will often bring you
face to face with scandal and wrong doing. When you face these
circumstances, you actually have a choice. You can choose to sit on the
side line and complain, or you can lace up your boots, dust off your uniform of
life and get involved to correct matters. All too often, people stand
around and complain about things that they are not willing to do anything
about. When you do that, you do nothing more than add fuel to the fire
and thus, subconsciously make things worse. Anyone can talk about what’s
wrong, but the real question is – what are willing to do about it? If the
answer is nothing, then maybe your position should be on the bench and not on
the field. The people on the field are actually those trying to win, those
on the side line are either those that are waiting their chance to get in, or
those that like to talk about what’s wrong on the field. You choose who
you are going to be, but like it or not…believe it or not, you’re going to be
one of them.
As always…think…and grow.

I CARE
Posted to Facebook on May 30.
It is a very sad day for the Department of Veterans Affairs. General Shinseki resigned this morning and I am just heart broken. VA Core Values, becuase I CARE, I will...
Integrity: Act with high moral principle. Adhere to the highest professional standards. Maintain the trust and confidence of all with whom I engage.
Commitment: Work diligently to serve Veterans and other beneficiaries. Be dr...iven by an earnest belief in VA's mission. Fulfill my individual and organizational responsibilities.
Advocacy: Be truly Veteran-centric by identifying, fully considering and appropriately advancing the interests of Veterans and other beneficiaries.
Respect: Treat all those I serve and with whom I work with dignity and respect. Show respect to earn it.
Excellence: Strive for the highest qualitiy of continuous improvement. Be thoughtful and decisive in leadership, accountable for my actions, willing to admit mistakes and rigorous in correcting them.
VA CORE CHARACTERISTICS: TRUSTWORTHY, ACCESSIBLE, QUALITY, INNOVATIVE, AGILE, INTEGRATED.
Those that reported to work every day and did not embrace these core values and characteristics should be ashamed of themselves. They let down the Veteran, their families, the Department and the Secretary.
It was an honor to serve under his leadership when he was the Chief of Staff of the Army and as the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Sir, I salute YOU.

Pens and More Pens
My Rainbow of Pens for my Filofax
This picture does not do my rainbow of pens justice because you
cannot see all of the vibrant colors. I like to use the different colors to
brighten my Filofax pages. I do not have a color scheme, just whatever color I
pick out at the time is what I use. It makes me happy using a bit of
color. I do not know about you, but it is
hard for me to pass up a new set of color pens.
A friend gave me the pens below which have glitter accents. Just
delightful!

Goals or Objectives
The calendar I am using for my Original Filofax has a section for monthly goals. I did a little research and found this chart on line. I need to focus on objectives which I can measure...like lose 5 pounds or read a book a month...that I can do.
