A day of normalness
I return to work tonight after several glorious days off. The sun was shining each day and I got to spend some much needed time reconnecting with family. It was so very good for the soul. We had our graduation party and couldn't have asked for a better day. The food, the drinks, the party-goers, and games were phenomenal. My son felt the love and it was almost as if life was normal again. Little did I know but the city had planned a BLM rally in the park at the same time. It was a great group of involved and respectful young people speaking their minds. At no time was there violence or destruction. I was very proud of our town and the willingness to embrace all cultures while facing the problems head on. Talking to each other but even more important is the listening to each other being the key. I live in a small town of German decent with farming as the main industry but it is built around an Air Force base.Our school system has been graced with many cultures. It was good to see people coming together to share their voices. Some of the rally goers even spent the rest of the day playing volleyball with us. A good time was had by all.
