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

Tie-dye Fido: Yes, it's almost the Year of the Dog, and granted, China is enjoying a enormous boom in pet popularity, but this is no way to treat a poodle.

How embarrassing is this?

[laurenmarlowe]

Hey there LUV!! Missed you too, sweetie! Work went very well, thanks.

And yes, Little Luvvy is out "cat exploring".

LOL! how did you know??

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nice. ((HUGS))

[luvie]

Poor little thing! I love poodles but hate what people do to embarrass them.

[Darkchylde]

Ah, no hurry. I was just curious, we have the
song.... on vinyl. I think my mom repacked it.
I need better speakers for my player anyway.

As a girl growing up we had a sweet poodle named "Tinker Bell". Poor Tinker was always dyed pink with red polished toenails. Poor Tinker!:)

Man hunters? A young lioness plays with a male in Kenya's Samburu game preserve. Lion attacks on humans are on the rise in southern Tanzania and Mozambique because farmers have taken to sleeping outdoors to protect their crops from raiding bush pigs. Lions preying on the pigs have discovered that human flesh is also quite tasty.

Yikes!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cheer up, it tends to clear out after the first tunnel: There's no such thing as a full passenger train in Dhaka. These Bangladeshis are traveling to the country to visit friends and relatives over the Eid al-Adha holiday.

Good grief!!

[EsmeraldaA]

WOW.
Your work with the handsome face again, nice!!

[StarCMC]

LOL -- I love it!!! He'll get a tickle when he sees THAT! He he he!!!
