It’s The Little Things
This morning, when I pulled out of my driveway on my way to a meeting on the east side of Cleveland, I noticed a significant change in the way my street looked. Today is trash day in my neighborhood, and usually that means bits of trash flying all over the neighborhood and empty trash cans strewn where they land–sidewalk, street, or treelawn. Today, the empty trash cans were neatly stacked upside down on the tree lawns. How pleasant to see our street look so neat and clean on trash day! Not two weeks earlier, Tim was requesting help from the blogosphere trying to get our trash picked up. And now, I am marveling at the change in the way things are on trash day.
To some of you, this event might not seem like much, but those of us who live in the city know that the “little” things mean a lot. Today I have hope that our city is on the verge of something new and exciting. Today, I “expect great things.”
