Why is it that something so ugly is so intriguing?
The cactus is a plant that grows in the harshest conditions, yet brings such beauty. What can we learn from this plant?
When faced with difficult conditions, how can we blossom like a cactus? How can we find ways to use the scarce resources around us to complete the project or reach our goals and create our own beauty?
If mother nature can do it ... so can we!

Today we will leave our Soldier again as he continues on for advanced training. We will go home knowing he has done his best, and will continue to do so ...
We leave here not sad ... but proud. Proud not only of his accomplishments, but for his future as well ...
We will miss you, but know you will be home soon!
Congratulations, PFC Walls, You serve your Country and family well!
As we travel through life we are often instructed to "follow the signs" as they will get us to our desired destination.
What happens if you cannot see them? What happens if on the day of the big event the signs were left unknowingly in the closet?
If in this case we had stayed so focused on one particular kind of sign we would never have reached our destination. On this day we relied on our previous experience and skills of observation to figure out the path to take. When unsure as to the next steps, we stopped and asked for assistance. Sometimes that guidance was helpful and allowed us to move forward; other times misguided causing us to re-think our position.
What are the signs that you are following? Do you seem stuck as you can't see the next sign telling you where to go? Are you ignoring all of the other "signs" guiding you along the path?
Signs come in many forms and can be found in many places... sometimes all you have to do is open the next door to see where they will lead you ....
Today ... look around ... what's falling apart? What doesn't work quite the way it should? Today decide to DEAL WITH IT! Maybe you don't have the time to actually go out and buy the wood or get out the paint brush ... But do you have the time to call someone who can? Can you schedule the trip to the hardware store in your appointment book?
Take the first step to remove decay. The negative energy that these obstacles create are draining you whether you want to admit it or not!
It's Monday morning ... what do you see before you? A week chocked full of activities or an open schedule? This morning take a close look and ask yourself, "is this the week I want to have?"
If the answer is no, why not? How can you change the days ahead to fit the life you want to live? Where can you say NO; where do you want to say YES?
Look closely as the life you lead is the one you choose ....
