Taking the Time to Remember

May 26, 2008

Today was a slow day at the office. Of course one of the perks of this industry is the office is at home, or some coffee shop, or yes, even the beach. Things move so fast in this industry that I find myself thinking of slow sleepy days as a kind of luxury.

Fact is I feel blessed to be able to spend a sunny afternoon with my family. Me writing on my computer, my wife making a scale model of a crime scene for her class, occasionally stopping to share good food.

I am cognizant it is Memorial Day. These are the kind of quite, everyday blessings often easily taken for granted. My house is full of books and part of the reason our history section is so large is as a reminder. A reminder of those who have served our country from wars on our soil that happened in 1812 to sudden island conflicts like Grenada. There is also the reminder for those who currently serve not only in the quagmire that is Iraq but on the tense boarder known as the Korean DMZ. It is because of their oaths to “serve, honor and protect” that such easily taken for granted days can happen.

So take a moment to pick up a book, and find out more about those conflicts which have forged our history. Then remember to take the time to say “thank you” to those who make it possible.

    It is a great time to reflect and be thankful for those who serve now and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. When I think I’m having a bad day all I have to do is pause a few moments and reflect on what they gave and my problems seem so small in comparison.

    Thinking of Iraq, you mentioned “quagmire” and since I remain supportive of the efforts there, I almost instinctively cringed until I looked up the definition: “a situation from which extrication is very difficult.” I pray for their safety, good success and speedy return home. I also wish good things for the Iraqi people who have likewise suffered much at the hands of Saddam and terrorists.
