As I walk around our lovely community I see a lot that needs fixed. Our Roads, Our Yards, Our Homes, Our Business District & Our treatment of others. It is this last one that bothers me the most. So I have been really thinking about this and I think we need a word of the day…
So here it goes

Respect:
To feel or show deferential regard for, or as the dictionary states & defines respect as meaning admiration, high opinion, esteem, value, reverence & regard.
Respect is not about what we do, but who we are. It is about feeling valued. It is about being able to stand tall and feel proud of ourselves just because we exist.

Respect is also considered as a synonym for politeness or manners.
It implies MY PERSONAL MOTTO… "Treat others the way you want to be Treated."
