4 Self Care Tips for Military Spouses
It’s often been said that those who can’t do, teach. So, let me tell you what I can’t do. Relax. I’m told that it’s genetic—I’m like my grandmother, her mother before her, and so on. I come from a long, long line… of control freaks.

He walked in the door and I could tell he wasn’t himself. He said he was going on a walk. I really didn’t give it much more thought. He sometimes just needed some quiet time to sort things out.

Newton’s Law of Emotions
At some point in school, most students hear of Newton’s Laws of Motion. The third law is the most familiar: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
In my opinion, this law can also be applied to some of the emotions that take place within military life.
