Helping You To Focus, Please!

November 13th 2010 19:14
"Focus is an inner pasture that is silent and quiet. You return to that
pasture when external entities around you are attempting to distract a
conscious attempt towards a goal. We all have it. Some people's
pastures are more quiet, and more peaceful, than others; therefore,
their ability to focus is sharper than others. You are one of those
people!!"

A bright new blogger wrote those words to his son when he began to question his ability to focus. I question mine at times and need to resort to a quiet, inner place to regain focus. the distractions in our world abound and at times overwhelm us. we get of track, lose focus, and wonder why we get nothing accomplished. when this happens, go to "that place". We are all one of those people. we are all capable of discovering that place and going there. Find yours through meditation, prayer, spiritual means or good ole'fashioned logic, but find it!!

We need to mention the DAV at this point. this is an organization that helped me get re-focused. They need your help and want to get your support for their many important initiatives on Capital Hill. Please click on the link below and give your assistance. thanks for your support!

What did you do in the military, dad?

All veterans need to contemplate the question because it is coming one day, in some form or fashion. Be prepared! I recommend for combat veterans to be especially mindful of the answers associated with the question. How do you candy-coat the answer while being as truthful as need be? My son asked me during a conversation somewhat unrelated to the topic. I was unprepared and had not considered ever really having to answer for my actions in combat.

Keep in mind that our estrangement for many years didn't help. I was perplexed as to how much to share, if to share at all. Finding the middle ground was important. I did not want to be to evasive and erode any trust we'd developed, but I didn't feel the need to blurt out all the gore either. You know your children, and are able to determine what amount to share and how much detail they can handle.

Start think about your response today. The question is coming to a theater near you soon!

We need to address the issues that underrepresented veterans are faced with daily. Those well-kept secrets will be secret no longer!
