Around these parts, it is high school graduation weekend. Lawn signs are displayed with proud *insert mascot here* graduate and the student’s senior photo. Large white tents for graduation parties are going up all over the place. And the lines are so looooooong at the local ice cream shops celebrating the Pre-K-ers up through our college graduates.
As this year’s graduates look out to the future, many likely feeling more anxious then class years past, I wanted to share a message that I wish we had heard on this day fifteen years ago. That between the dreaming big dreams and remembering where you came from, we would have also been reminded of the collective need to be there for each other.
It can be rough out there and I truly pray that we all choose to be great neighbors to those who surround us. Send a text, mail a postcard, pick up trash on the side of the road, or just not shout “you’re welcome” to the lady who doesn’t thank us for holding the door for her in the pouring rain.
Cheers to being a good neighbor and to all the exclamation points,
Skylar
