Feeling Good

You have got to feel good when both (not just the usual democratic one who we should all be supporting but not on AmeirCorps time and I will post about some other day) of our nations presidential candidates get on the same stage and in a bipartisan manner praise the work of our nations volunteers! That's us everybody, talk about Bonner LOVE!

McCain said that the PeaceCorps and AmeriCorps don't receive, "sufficient recognition" and he would be, "glad to reward them as much as possible."

Obama (aka THE MAN) went on to say, "Part of what makes America work is the fact that we believe in individual responsibility and self-reliance, but we also believe in mutual responsibility, in neighborliness, in a sense that we are committed to something larger than ourselves."

For some reason all of this seems to be ringing bells of familiarity... sounds a lot like the commitment each and every one of us has made and will continue to make to our communities. If that doesn't make you feel good, then come visit me during office hours and I'll try and cheer you up!

Bonner Family, pat yourself on the back, you deserve it!

B-Love,

Blake

P.S. I am such a loser for writing this on a Friday night!
