Voting Day Pittsfield June 13th, 2017

Blog, Promotions for Friends and Colleagues, Twinkle's Musings, , , ,

Today is a voting day in Pittsfield, and while it may not have all the allure and intensity of November’s election, I feel it is important to vote.

I vote because I appreciate the teachers and staff who care for our children in our local schools and cast a vote to support their salaries and programs.  I vote because I appreciate that we have a publicly funded education system available to our children and my ballot adds to the voices of all those who value it. I vote because I would have been vocal in the suffragist movement, so in solidarity and gratitude, I vote today.

“A Litany of Gratitude”

Blog, Promotions for Friends and Colleagues

These beautiful words by Rev. Mel Pine :

A Litany of Gratitude

Some came here looking for solace.
Some came here and gave it to them.

Some came here seeking music.
Some came here and gave it, joyfully.

Some came here seeking laughter.
Some came here and created it.

Some came here seeking learning, growth.
Some came here and provided it.

Some came here looking for a sense of security, a safe haven.
Some came here and provided it.

Some came here seeking an escape from hectic lives.
Some came here and enabled them to have it.

Some came here seeking the joy of community.
Some came here and created that.

Some came here wanting to serve.
Some came here and made it possible for them.

We thank them all
