NMM
How many of us have said something we wish we could take back? I know I’ve burned bridges and hurt feelings because I didn’t control my words. It happens, but we should strive to reduce the frequency by being slow to anger and biting our tongues. Words have the power to build or break. You can’t take back toxic talk and bitter babble. “Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity” – Proverbs 21:33.

Let’s keep that in mind when frustrated at work or when arguing with loved ones. What has been said cannot be unsaid. Sometimes silence is best.

Aye!

Big 5-0

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.
