Take A Moment.

Before you grab your gear and race to the beach, take a moment.

Before you spend your day frolicking in the sun, take a moment.

Before you fight with your husband about the price of gas, take a moment.

Before you take the time to visit with your loved ones, take a moment.

Before you stuff that hot dog into your mouth, take a moment. (Then take a Zantac.) (Sorry, couldn't keep the snark out. Trying, honest!)

Take a moment to remember why you're off from work today.

Take a moment to remember who you are and where you live.

Take a moment to remember those who sacrificed their lives to give you your freedom.

Take a moment to sympathize/commiserate with those who are grieving or celebrating the brave ones we are to honor today.

Happy Memorial Day and a heartfelt thanks to those who are still out there defending us and our freedom. My hope is to celebrate you on Veteran's Day.
