Your Mental Attitude - Days of Chivalry
When the days of chivalry are mentioned, we usually think of a gallant knight rescuing a fair lady or treating her with unusual courtesy. Gallant the knights were-and certainly courteous
But the fundamental basis of chivalry was friendship. The Knights of the Round Table were a sworn brotherhood of men whose strongest ties were based on friendship. Perhaps the most celebrated knight of chivalry, the Chevalier de Bayard, was famous above all else for his friendships.
Friendship is loyalty-to our family, to our job, to our community. It is not veering and tacking like a rudderless ship or playing both sides of the street or using people just for our own advantage.
It is made up of little things-a thoughtful word at the right moment
a little kindness beyond the call of duty . . . a sense of understanding of the other fellows problem
a genuine liking for people . . . a sense of responsibility toward our associates.
It has often been said that we must BE a friend to HAVE a friend. And, like all the worthwhile things in life, friendship takes work and effort. We cannot take our friendships for granted. They are like the food we need at regular intervals-they must be given constant and diligent nourishment . . . We can no more get along in the world without a friend than we could without food or the air we breathe.
One of the important things we learn is that friendship involves tolerance for the weaknesses of others-as these same people are tolerant of our own shortcomings . .
Good friendships are those that wear well, said Emerson. When our attitudes are chivalrous, we find that our friendships constantly grow stronger and richer.
The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth. Charles Kingsley

Here Comes That Canteen Feeling Again words by Old Sarge Here comes that Canteen feeling again! And soon my happy tears are falling like rain, It doesn't matter if it's Monday, I'll gladly take a month of Sundays always spent with you, before the clouds appear, 'cuz you can cure a rainy day! Here comes that Canteen feeling again! And I'll be dreaming of my Galz once again, Your arms are always on my mind, Girl I'm hoping soon I'm gonna find, Girl, My way back to you, Cause if you let me stay, The rainy days will go away! Misty morning eyes I'm trying to disguise the way I feel, But I just can't hide it! People seem to know the happiness will show I thank my lucky star for just the way you are, Girl!
Here comes that Canteen feeling again! And soon my happy tears are falling like rain, It doesn't matter if it's Monday, I'll gladly take a month of Sundays always spent with you, before the clouds appear, 'cuz you can cure a rainy day!
Here comes that Canteen feeling again, Here comes that Canteen feeling again, Here comes that Canteen feeling again...
