A Good Anniversary

We need to celebrate 10 years of cityhood because it came about by exercising our inalienable right to choose our own destiny. Choosing representatives at a community level is a blessing to be acknowledged.

Good choices or bad choices, only the good matters on this date. When anniversaries are celebrated in our personal lives do we dwell on the bumps in the road, or do we rejoice in the positives and look forward to the road ahead?

A majority voted into office the present and all past city governments. These elected officials have exercised the will of the people as they saw fit. Agree or disagree with what they have done or have failed to do, but do exult in their positives and look forward to the road ahead.

Alice came to a fork in the road.

“Which road do I take?” she asked.

“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.

“I don’t know,” Alice answered.

“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”

Appreciate the positives of what the city has done in ten years, and do look forward to the road ahead in a resplendent area intimately intertwined with nature … because roads like anniversaries do matter.
