Reaching Out to Our Neighbors



(PARK ANIMAL NETWORKING,  Artist: Troy Johnson)


It's December 1st.  The holiday season is in full swing.  MANY are unemployed or underemployed.  It could be better financially for most everyone, working or not.  Outside of finances, many people are hanging on by a thread health wise.  Many are lonely and need some reassurance.  We have a powerful resource in the help we get from others.  We have a great power in ourselves to reach out and make a difference.

That is the power of America: The People.  People who reach out and lend a helping hand.  People who take time to care and wish others well.  I appreciate the many people who have offered to help or have helped me otherwise during my time of unemployment and underemployment.  It is comforting to know that people do care.  You do make a difference.

So what about that someone you know that needs some help?  They may be too big to admit it, but they do.  Together we can make a difference as we unite as neighbors,  as Americans.  Dang, even the park animals make a difference- well not in the way my cartoon conveys it. 

Make it a good day for someone else too!
