Stand Up

Good morning,

Happy Friday! It’s often said that “Reputation is everything.” Today’s sunny note invites us to ask ourselves this question:

What do I stand for?

Perhaps it’s honesty, kindness, perseverance or something else entirely. To stand for something we must stand up for it, even when the going gets tough. The characteristics that define us are those we exhibit consistently, not just when it’s convenient.

America stands for freedom, and the brave men and women of our armed forces stand up for it every day. They fight for freedom at the most difficult times in the most difficult places. This weekend we extend to them special thanks as we celebrate our country’s independence.

Each of us stands for something – or many things – that make a difference in our lives and the lives of others. That’s why it’s worth asking ourselves, or even asking someone else from their observations, “What do I stand for?”

Let’s stand up – and have a sunny day!
