Happy Thursday!
I never seem to get to eat breakfast before I jump and run off to work. I'm really quite much off of my routine. My normal preference is to get up, water my flowers, eat a little breakfast (usually Cocoa Krispies...they're my favorite), and then zip off to the gym. My ever expanding belly reminds me that I haven't visited my friends at the gym I'm a member of in about two months. That's gotta change! I want to get myself back in shape...in a shape other than round.
So obviously there's been a lot on my mind lately when it comes to my hometown. The comments that I have been getting from everyone who has sent an e-mail, or commented on the website, have been nothing but positive. Just about everyone I have talked to has expressed their support. My hope is that I can continue to count on that support at the ballot box.
Several folks have asked me why I haven't filed to run for town commissioner instead. Why is it that I wouldn't want a vote? Why wouldn't I want to help make decisions? Well, I feel like I can help make decisions as mayor. I also feel like I can be a voice - a very loud, classroom teacher's voice - for the town. It seems to me that being mayor would be the best place for me to use my talents - my ability to speak to people in a manner in which they can understand what our needs are, my ability to help people to understand how our local government works and why they should be a part of it, etc. These are skills I honed as a public educator. :)
I can try, right?
