I certainly wish that our politicians would follow this practice.
The January theme in "Daily Kindness" is respect. The 12-step programs talk about humility as seeing oneself neither above nor below anyone else on the scale of life. This is an essential aspect of respect, because if I think I am better than you, I have no need to respect you. Alas, we see too much of that these days.
In random online scrolling the other day, I saw a t-shirt with this saying:
We are all dogs in God's hot car.
What a great inspiration entering a new year! Nothing gets our Barney wound up more than the prospect of a car ride. Big smile, big excitement, doesn't matter if it is a trip of two miles or 500. There are new things to see and do and smell and taste! He gets to be with his humans whom he must keep in a neat "herd." Maybe there will be a drive-thru with a treat, ice cream being the all-time favorite. Let's go, go, go!
Can we enter the new year with this dog/car-ride level of excitement despite facing the unknown? I suspect maintaining such an attitude would make for a mighty fine year!
