That little ‘lift’ when something good happens.
I woke up to a rather full mail box this morning. People
saying “I notified” this group or that, but haven’t heard back yet, but I’ll be
there. And my blank mind says “Who is that?” I call one of my co-hippies. “Oh,
that’s……” And I still don’t know, because that’s the way my mind still is.
There’s a message board. No idea how I set that up. Here’s
the first message:
Thank you for organizing
this local event. We need a comprehensive, common sense strategy to combat gun
violence once and for all. Enough is enough. And I firmly believe it will take
effort from local communities, states and the nation as a whole to better
protect our children. I am so very proud that an event such as this is taking
place in our community and I am looking forward to standing with you all.
This is just to blow off a little steam. I need to go prepare
in my head my remarks for the trustees tonight. But, I know the names of a lot
of people who will stand on the curb with me, and I even know some of their
faces.
How I love those faces.
Excellent! Hard work and supportive faces - a good combination.
ReplyDeleteIt just takes one person of courage and conviction to start great things. Others will follow. Well done, Joanne.
ReplyDeletehari OM
ReplyDelete...and I love those faceless faces!!! Hoorah for you! YAM xx
Nice work! I'm so proud of you I could spit.
ReplyDeleteIn some hands gun are evil, you can take away the guns or the people your choice .
ReplyDeleteMerle...............
one step at a time,you're getting there xx
ReplyDeleteKeep on trucking
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you do have some faces that will stick with you. All the best tonight. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteDo bloggers count.....we`re all with you digitally. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI will take a Flat Blogger to hold up for the press. You all count!
DeleteYAY!!!
DeleteYou are simply wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThose little acknowledgements mean so much, eh?
ReplyDeleteYou know, Tom, it really is. I knew there were three of us who would stand on the corner and be counted, but as of now there are twenty more, and then all those other people who will just show up.
DeleteMay all go well with the trustees!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, Joanne. The company announcing its refusal to sell any more of those weapons is huge too.
ReplyDeleteWe need more companies to refuse to sell those weapons, too. I just saw a headline that said Trump told the senators that they are afraid of the NRA. I think this is the first time he has said something I agree with!!
ReplyDeleteYou make us proud, Joanne. Hope all goes well with the meeting.
You are fighting the good fight. And it is working at least a bit.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that you are doing good, even without remembering the parts like setting up the message board, is a good thing and knowing the names and/or faces of people who will stand with you is good too, they may help you remember others and other things.
ReplyDeleteYay, things are moving now!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than getting some nice in the mail.
ReplyDeleteIt is something of an inspiration to me to see how you keep fighting. It has made me think I need to keep doing little things against our big bogeyman here in the UK, Brexit. I have been getting off my backside and doing it. Just realised I forgot to write about that in my latest blog post though. I put it on facebook but not the blog....
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration Joanne.
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing, even with a befuddled brain.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder about my brain, too. But it's the only one I have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me and commenting. I shall make a point to "wander over" here.
ReplyDeleteMuch luck with your campaign.
Every single extra protester is a triumph!
ReplyDeleteThank you; what a magnificent thought.
