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

How is the Jet Jag family doing? It's cold in Korea. How is South Carolina? I still listen to AFN News each night. Thanks for letting us go with you. I really enjoyed learning about our military over there.

lauren...((HUGS)) you made it home from work! I suspect you are tired. Pets all happy to see you?

[luvie]

Hi, Jinxy...I don't think they ever intend to finish the construction there. It would be no challenge to drivers if there weren't detours and bad signage everywhere!

[Jet Jaguar]

I have been busy. House and all. The weather here has been warm and windy. We had some tornado activity this weekend near here. Fortunately, no problems locally.

[luvie]

Thanks Kathy...it is my pleasure to let his beautiful music be heard.

[laurenmarlowe]

Thank goodness, yes home at last!

Lucy the pup and Ethel mama cat are the welcoming committee, and so glad to see them, just need to round up one more critter!

[StarCMC]

LOL!!!!

Do you have this song by John Fischer (Lord Of The
Dance)? I think he was the one who originally sang it.

Hello all. :-)

[StarCMC]

LOVE the pictures Kathy!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

What's up your nose? A coati rewards animal keeper Mark Habben with a kiss for taking the annual inventory at the London Zoo. Or perhaps the coon-like critter was just looking for grubs.

[Lady Jag]

Man, that steak was good!

[luvie]

Good evening Lauren! (((hugs)))

We've missed you around here! And the critter you need to round up...would that be LUVVY? :o)

How did the boat show go?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm at work, so can't look, but I will when I get home. I'm sure I have more than one version.

[laurenmarlowe]

Howdy there JJ! I hope you and the family are doing well! *HUGS*
