Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday (formerly known as Decoration Day) which is observed on the last Monday in May.  This day commemorates U.S. men and women who have died serving our country as well as fallen police and firefighters.

This is one of my favorite quotes, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

I think of this poem’s message in times of stress and negative thoughts.

“There comes a point when you separate yourself from negativity–it simply does not exist.  Your primary objective becomes to find a positive use for all things and events that you encounter, and from that day forward you know that you will succeed; you know that you will succeed because success is no longer just the attainment of a particular goal, but rather the continual daily commitment to progress–progress towards bettering yourself, your life, and most importantly, the lives of those around you”
