The Balance Before Burnout reserve I am focusing on this month is gratitude – and with today being Veteran’s Day, I am honored and grateful to those who have served our country.
 

In a time when I see many people taking the easy way out, blaming others without take responsibility for their own actions, or waiting for others to “do it” for them, it is amazing to me that we still have so many young people passionate about serving their country.
 

One of my students at school has enlisted and has known for as long as I have known him that he is meant to serve his country. The truly heartening part is that this young man’s brother was one of our fallen soldiers in Iraq last year. This is a family dedicated to the military with another sister, cousin and the brother’s widow all serving.
 

So it is this picture of our young soldiers and their overwhelming pride and dedication that I keep n my mind as I thank all of our veteran’s who were once young men and women themselves dedicating their lives to the unknown for our freedoms.
