ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bowling, Go Ruck- ALSO- Bone was particularly observant and on fire this morning first calling out the Q for his confusing Big Bois with LBC’s, then during roll call point out the absence of Elvis and Shake n Bake.
COT: Q shared a story about a neighbor who has aggravated him for years with his habit of parking multiple cars on the street when we has ample space in his condo’s parking lot. Q was working on fixing his kids basketball hoop and said neighbor, who he has never spoken to in 15+ years, came over to assist him out of the blue. The neighbor then said his son had passed away but he had many good memories about playing basketball with him and he wanted to help me with the hoop. Q and neighbor are now talking and sharing stories, etc… lesson is don’t judge a book by it’s cover, you never know what baggage a person is carrying, and consider letting go of what are likely petty annoyances when compared to other larger things in life.

CoT:
Your composure and posture communicate to not only others, but also your mind about whether you are up-and-coming or down-and-falling.
So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.
