I drove into work a little later one day this week and because of that 1/2 hour difference I was behind a school bus in the township where I live. It stopped four times in front of me and each time I witnessed a parent, one man and three women, sending their elementary children off for the day.
Waves and kisses accompanied each child. It was so Norman Rockwell-ish and warmed my heart quite a bit, a hopeful sign to balance the non-hopeful things I've witnessed recently in our national political scenes.
If children can start their days like this, maybe there is hope that with basic love and kindness in the world goodness and care for each other will prevail.
