get on the bus.

Posted on July 20, 2020 by beth

what an adventure it would be to travel on the ‘make america kind again’ bus

—

“human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the figure of a free people.

a nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.”

-Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States

It’s sad that “kindness” is now political in some ways…a positive phrase like “make America kind again” is something we should all embrace, as the “meanness” of our current environment is toxic, and negative messages are being pushed aggressively by outside influences designed to turn us against each other…
