Words and Actions

The gift of life is an action. Living is an action. Growing is an action.

Communicating starts at a young age. The first words a baby speaks are often the words their parents repeat to them. Momma and Papa are often the first words a baby speaks. As the family grows together the baby learns more words from their family and begins to speak full sentences.

When a couple create a safe and stable home together their opportunities to make a healthy and strong family increase.

Creating a safe and stable home requires a lot of work that doesn’t end. The neighborhood where their home is in has a large effect on the safety and stability of their home. The community one or both of them work in has a large effect on the couples ability to maintain a healthy, safe and stable home.

The stronger the communities economy is the better for everyone in the community. A strong economy creates more opportunities for everyone in it and those opportunities can grow and expand to other neighboring communities.

A thriving community maintains its strength and grows through the actions and the words of it members.

In the United States the leader of a city or a town is usually the Mayor elected by the constituent’s of the community voting for the candidate. A Mayor is elected for a specific amount of time. When a Mayor’s term is up they might be elected again or a new Mayor might be elected as the leader of the community.

It makes sense that a Mayors term is not permanent and can not be elected over and over again. New leadership brings new ideas to a community. Every member of a community does not see eye to eye on every decision their Mayor makes.

One member of a community has a different ideology than another member of the community. Voting to elect a Mayor to lead a community is how members with competing beliefs choose the winner.

This is called civilization. It’s not perfect. While striving for a perfect union is an ideal to work on, a community is made up of individuals from different places with different upbringings and life experiences unique to them.

When you consider the President of the United States Union Address speech in a news report many people like it and many people don’t like it. That is one part of living in society.

In the community I live in this morning I woke up safe and sound on my bed soon after 5am. I brought my dog to the park nearby and we went on a walk. When we got home I cooked breakfast and fed my dog and filled the bowl of water for the dog to lap up through the day. I ate then I drove to a cafe in Town where I sat at a table and sipped two cups of hot coffee with cream and raw sugar. I wrote in my journal and chatted with the barrista. He’s new to the area.

When I got home I checked in with work and am on call for the day. Life is a miracle and a blessing. The simple joy of waiving hello to a neighbor I saw walking her dog this morning goes a long way.

Many people working together made this possible. The roads I drove on this morning are clear and safe to travel because of the men and women who work for the city maintaining the roads and the traffic lights. The electricity at home and in the cafe is solid that enabled me to cook breakfast on the electric range stove top and turn the lights on before dawn and most likely helped the barista brew coffee for his patrons because of the men and the women who work for the city maintaining the electric grid for the community.

The park where I brought my dog on a walk lawn is maintained and green mowed by men and women who work for the city and watered with sprinklers.

The water I poured out of my kitchen sink in the apartment I lease was clean and clear as usual. I used it to brew a cup of coffee after I got out of bed. The water is safe to drink and bathe in and to water lawns for the community because of the men and women who work for the city maintaining the water.
