We could even comment on Bruce's recent tricycle road trip to Indiantown. And finally, we could note that 22 members showed out. But we won't. Instead we will share a post from another blog. It follows.
What Kind of People Live Where You Come From?
There is a story sometimes told around campfires about two Native American brothers who set out on separate quests to explore the lands that surrounded their tribal home. After many days the first brother came upon a man sitting quietly by a stream and asked him "What kind of people live here in this land?"
"What kind of people live where you come from?" the brave asked of him.
"Everyone where I live is selfish, negative, petty and jealous. They care only for themselves and often disappoint me."
"You will find that the people here are much the same."
"I suspected as much." Disappointed, the first brother moved on in search of more welcoming places.
Hours later, the second brother came upon the same brave. This brother also asked "What kind of people live here in this land?"
The brave again replied "What kind of people live where you come from?"
"They are generous and optimistic, loving and helpful. They are the best of people."
And the brave again stated "You will find that the people here are much the same."
Hearing this, the brother excitedly continued on in anticipation of meeting new friends.
Throughout their travels the brothers continued to find people just like those they already knew, infuriating the one and delighting the other. Because, as the brave knew, the difference was not so much where they traveled and the people they met, but their different expectations and attitudes.

It is apparent that each member here views the other members as being the "best of people." Maybe that is why we are!
See you next Monday!
