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 fellow’s 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

Before my recent trip to Georgia I learned that a snowblower is not a slush remover.

Snowblowers cannot handle slush.

OMG, I left my driveway in a frosty icy mess.

I came back to a balmy 50 degree temp and so the slush/ice was not an issue, but the machine does work. In fact, it works good.

I really like the way they put a lei on the bow of the ship. Cool.

Valuable lesson.....slush does not do well. And slush is HEAVY!! LOL! Glad you had some 50 degree weather to take care of that icy issue.

Are we boring you? Some pussycats at Mexico City's Chapultepec Zoo aren't getting enough sleep.

Boy, does he look grouchy, and a toothbrush would be nice.

Fire in the hole! In Williamsburg, Va., a cannon battery rehearses a 19-gun salute for Timothy M. Kaine's inauguration as the state's 70th governor. It's the first time the Colonial capital has hosted the inauguration since Thomas Jefferson took the same oath in 1779.
