This letter is to share the gratitude for the many people in our community who spend hours helping others; the paramedics who came to my home early one morning to check on my head injury, the way some bus drivers take time to help carry some of your bags of groceries onto the bus, the nurses who make calls to see how you are doing, the firefighters who change your smoke detectors if you can not reach them, the police officer who watches you do not fall, those moments when someone smiles and asks how you are doing, the volunteers at the shelters, as well as the people who help abused and abandoned animals.

This list could go on and on but I will just say that in the midst of violent shootings and earthquakes and fires and the war in Ukraine, we need to just take time to say thank you to someone who has helped you. 

Our world here would become kinder and more empathetic to others in spite of differences.

Wishing each of you a peaceful day, full of new ways to bring light into our town.
