The title of my blog (changed since this post)

I spent a good amount of time looking for a decent title to give my blog and had the hardest time thinking of something clever and catchy. I wanted to give it something meaningful but also something that described me since this blog is comprised of my thoughts. Several of my friends have taken to joking with me and calling me Captain America. This seemed silly but the more they kept at it, the more I got used to the idea and realized what a compliment this became for me.

Courage, Honor, Loyalty, Sacrifice appeared in a comic called The Chosen.

I liked the sound of saying these words allowed and the feeling that I got from looking at what each of these words means. Courage - facing danger or pain without showing fear. Honor - evaluation of a one's trustworthiness. Loyalty - commitment, the act of binding yourself to a course of action. Sacrifice - endure the loss of or a loss entailed by giving up something at less than it's value.

Each of these words has a powerful meaning and when you imagine one human as the embodiment of all these rolled into 1, it is difficult to come up with an actual person. Instead, we get a man like Steve Rogers (Captain America).

I by no means think I am each of these characteristics but I do feel like working each day to make sure I get close to this ideal. It's not a catchy blog name but I think it does the job.

Refresh/Recharge

I must always remember to take some time for myself and recharge so that I can be the person that I am needed to be. I forget this at times but the person I need me to be needs rest.

I have so many sporadic thoughts right now and can't write them all out. To tomorrow, with a clearer head and enlightened perspective.
