The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. General Douglas MacArthur
Like most citizens in the United States, I’m thanking Veterans on this annual Veterans’ Day. My relatives have fought in all the USA wars (except the Spanish American) since and including the Revolutionary War. I currently have a step granddaughter serving in the US Army. I have profound gratitude for their sacrifices.
I believe the best way to honor our military personnel is to work for peace. Peace within our families, our communities, our country, our world. If we could find a way to eliminate the need for armies, what a wonderful world we would have. I know this is Pollyanna thinking as there is much hatred and greed in the world. However, if we don’t think it, wish for it, pray for it, peace has no chance.
Affirmation: I believe in peace.
Coaching question: What can I do to bring peace to my corner of the world?
Life after losing a mother 
Years ago I stumbled upon a quote, “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”
It’s funny but true. From another Pollyanna, “Can’t we all get along and just work it out?!”
