I have been campaigning for political office for the last few days and I am very encouraged to be reminded that there are many kind and generous people in this world. This is not a reference to gererousity with regards to charitable giving but rather generous behavior toward others.
While walking door to door, I have been warmly received by many voters who have treated me with kindness and respect and I am grateful for that. My point is that this world is still full of really great people who do have a strong sense of civility and responsibility. Meeting wtih people on the campaign trail and sharing some of their stories has been most enriching. This campaign gives me a reason to connect with so many people in my community. I would like to share some experiences in future posts.
When you have a reason to visit with and get to know people, it opens the door to understanding who we are as a community, a nation, and a world. Unfortunately, we hear a lot of negatives on the news so our view of the world becomes tainted. I am thrilled to experience the kindness of others while reaching out to them.
