Overview

Gordon L Ewell (US Army Retired) served in the war in Iraq. He had one of the most dangerous missions; find the roadside bombs. He completed 59 combat missions, was blown-up on six different occasions, and saved countless lives. He was also severely wounded in the process. Blessed to cheat on so many occasions, he now seeks to greet each day with a positive energy that is contagiously caring, light-hearted and motivational. This collection of his quotes was gathered during five very long and intense years he spent on his "Recovery Road," trying to get back and regain as much of himself as he possibly could. A step at a time, Ewell fought to do that in part by telling himself every single day to think of something positive, uplifting and encouraging that he could focus on and share with others, rather than dwelling on the pain and depression that tried to consume most of his recovery. His nick-name is Gordy. Before long his inspirational daily motivational thoughts for the day were being looked forward to by others who he was hospitalized and recovering with. They had started to refer to his morning thought for the day, as Gordy-isms. And so became the birth of Gordy-isms, and something he continues to do today; think of something positive to start his day. Gordy-isms leave you feeling good, inside and out!
