RE: Take a Seat

I think we all have those moments after we retire, medically or otherwise, from the military. When they said, "There's no life like it.", they weren't kidding and we never truly leave it behind, especially after we've done a TOD (tour of duty, for the non-military folk) overseas. The things we see stay with us and that's probably why we can get that focus in a possible threat or high pressure situation, our training comes back, but in real life we don't feel like our fight or flight has to be on all the time and our bodies/brains try to get the rest they need by giving us mush brain. Just my opinion, of course. 😊

When I read this, "I am probably the hardest obstacle I have ever tackled. LOL!" part in your reply, I thought, dang that could be me. We are always our hardest critics and obstacles to overcome, but as long as we keep trying on the daily, even when we aren't successful, we're winning because we aren't giving up. Just remember that it's okay to take a moments respite from the battle, before heading back into the breach. 😊
