Be Kind...

The political silly season has started already leading up to the election next year.
Being in New Hampshire, we see more of the candidates and see them more often than folks in other states.
They make promises, oh, they make LOTS of promises! Most of which they will conveniently forget the day after the election.
This go 'round it looks like it will get very nasty.
It is not just Republicans vs Democrats now.
They are ALL sniping at one another. Democrats at Democrats, Republicans at Republicans, Everybody at Everybody.
"Acting ugly" as my grandmother used to say.

Everyone is rude these days, and that applies to politicians, too.
No one is kind anymore.
I am weary of it, but there is little I can do about it.
Except this:
Be kind.
Be kind to other people that are being rude, maybe they had a bad day or have worries you know nothing about.
Hope that your kindness will rub off on them and maybe they will be kind to the next person they encounter. Maybe it will spread.
There is a facebook page for the Bangor Police Department written by an officer by the name of Tim Cotton. If you don't follow it, I suggest you do.
His *tag line* at the end of every post is perfect:
Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
Best advice ever!

I do wish the politicians would take this advice.
