or do something different?
First off, I know what Memorial Day is officially about. I got it. But you don't necessarily have to take a full day off from work to honor veterans who died in the service of our country. You can do something else.
Or, as the person everybody around here loves, Dave Ramsey, says - "If you want to live like no one else, you've got to live like no one else".
So, you can spend all day Monday doing nothing, or you can take a few hours and cold walk residences, cold call, or get in touch with people who have been eluding you.
Last year, I got out my goofy looking American flag tie, put on a long sleeve dress shirt (no Dwight Shrewt here) and my American Legion pin, and went after it.
I door knocked at some neighborhoods that I'd been after for a while, and got to see LOTS of people. And they were nice, I was offered ribs and sweet tea on more than one occasion, and I had some great success getting in front of people who I'd never be able to get in front of on a normal day.
So, take from this what you will, but you have an opportunity on Monday to, while still honoring those who gave their lives for our country, to do something for yourself as well.
