Seasons Greetings

Reading is beautiful. Can you remember such a wonderful snowfall and just in time for the holidays? I just feel so very lucky this morning that out of all of the place on the earth...we decided to live here. It is not just the snowfall that has gotten me all ga-ga.. its the entire package. Reading is a town that George Baily could have lived in. Kind folks who work hard to make every one's lives a bit better.

My son's new favorite show is Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. I am thrilled to have rediscovered it with him. What strikes me is how often he reminds the children to be a good neighbor. Over and over the message is the same. Be kind and caring and look after each other. Well, it is making me a better mother watching these episodes and hopefully I will be a better neighbor.

So it is with these thought in the air circling around with the new fallen snow that I take the time to honor the wonderful people of Reading who do good for all of us. So many folks work extra hard to ease the effects of global warming, create plans for our outdoor enjoyment, keep the magic of the holidays alive (and green on the green), and so many other ways. Many many many people are trying to make Reading more eco and healthier for all of us. I just want to be a good neighbor and say thank you and really we all appreciate the hard work and dedication. Everyone that puts in extra hours to help us....bravo and thousand thanks.

So if you see me trying to navigate the traffic buoy on Main Street in not such a logical manner, have pity on me. I will smile if I see the same. Help each other out of the giant snowbanks that are sure to impact us this winter. Offer a smile and hello to all of these good citizens on the streets of Reading. Then we can truly do our part to make Reading an even better place....and make Mr. Rogers proud.

Wishing you joy, peace and happiness. We'll talk again soon in the New Year.
