Sunday-the day of rest. Today, I am checking emails and following up on notes I have received from folks who have read this blog. My friends are reluctant to sign up as followers-it seems that people prefer to remain anonymous on these blogs, which is easy for me to understand.
I was reminded today that my friend and colleague former mayor Caroline Godfrey used to say that she never reacted to what people told her in any matter, but chose to store the information until she was able to hear from all concerned parties and decide on a proper way forward.
This is great advice. I will try not to react to what I hear. But, I will continue to post what I hear and that is what the campaign diary will hold.
I don't tell people what the issues are, and don't proclaim any grand vision. I listen to people to find out what their issues are, no matter how big or small. Those issues are important to me and deserve to be considered seriously, and looked into. Those issues are my concern, and I will do my best to get things done for citizens, no matter what.
