Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 13 September 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Smile Day!” Why Not?
“Leaders have an uncanny way of smiling when faced with adversity. It’s there, you just can’t see it on the outside! Effective leaders confront the problem. They don’t avoid it. They look at problems and challenges with that inward smile and a positive attitude. That is when they evolve as a true leader and find the solutions. It’s the courage and strength in their face that is committed to action. The eagle leader with its eyes is a picture of strength and courage – it says, ‘I am Smiling!’ We call that their game face!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good Tuesday afternoon Colonel. Getting ready to climb out of a tree. Saw 4deer but all out of range of my bow. But, still smiling.
Smiles are hard for me to come by lately. I am so racked with pain, that a smile comes hard. I have spent the last two days bedridden. I’ll take all the smiles I can get.
No matter how serious the situation those in charge must keep a smile on their face. A frown tells others the situation has gotten the best of you.
