MORALE

Morale is an issue around here.

Morale is an issue around everywhere.

Morale is an aftertaste - a result of a feeling - a pervading atmosphere - that slides and sifts and shifts  into a womb - and a room - and a mind - into a person - a group - because of what happened - as well as what is happening around here.

Is being an optimist - or a pessimist - genetic?

Is it the result of nature or nurture?

Morale is the temperature in a room.

Morale is the issue behind and underneath the regular question: "Is everything all right?"

Morale is the question we want answers to - when we are evaluating another - or a marriage - or a team - a classroom or a situation.

"How you feeling?"

"How's it going?"

"How are you doing?"

"What's up?

"What's happening?"

There are some people who can take the temperature better than others.

There are some people who don't seem to care about team spirit - or morale - and they affect the morale or the spirit of the group.

Behind morale in  a person is the ability to have a sense of others - to know there are different ways to skin a cat - that it takes work - to really listen to another or others - as well as oneself.

Behind morale is the ability to accept pluralism - as well as unwanted expectations.

What were my mom and dad like?

Who influenced and formed me?  

What were they like?

Tell me your stories.
