We celebrate the Fourth of July as Independence Day. But one of the great things about this country is our recognition of our INTERDEPENDENCE. This morning in under an hour I had three demonstrations of this great national trait, which deserves celebration alongside our ancestors’ courageous battle for political liberty:
- Stacey this morning was in the community garden mucking out the compost pile and tidying the surrounding path so that the rest of us will have better produce and a pleasanter experience making it happen.
- Susan alerted our synagogue’s listserve that Mollie needs drivers to get her to medical appointments every morning this week and next. By the time I replied to sign up there was only one slot left.
- Sig and Carolyn posted more helpful information on TOUGH CONVERSATIONS, an on-line blog and clearinghouse devoted to mediation, conflict resolution, and good communication.
