“Relaxation is the prerequisite for that inner expansion that allows a person to express the source of inspiration and joy within”
-Deepak Chopra

How does this have anything to do with Memorial Day?
We have a neighbor who is a veteran of the Iraq war. Upon his return home he found that he has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to what he experienced and witnessed during the war. He now has to take 1200 mg of Seroquel a day just so his mind can have some peace and he doesn’t scream and hallucinate all day. He went into the military with sound mind and body.
We can never thank our soldiers and their families enough for the sacrifices they make for our country.
For our freedom.
For our ability to relax, feel safe, and be happy.

Thanks for the reminder and the reality of those that served.
What you wrote is very powerful to read. I feel so bad for the soldier and wish we did more than just have a one holiday to remember our troops.
On another note I wanted to say thank you so much for your kind comment to my marriage post. It meant a great deal to me. I am so excited to get married.
