I’m kinda partial to my Ocoee community but I’d bet this applies to a ton of other ones too.
I recall a story I heard years ago about two families moving to the same new town.
One family pulls in to the gas station and starts talking to the employee at the store about how much they hated where they were from and how terrible it was there. Then they asked how they would find things in this new community. The person replied, you’ll probably find it the same way here.
A second family pulls in to the exact same gas station and talks to the same person just a few moments later. This family talks about how much they loved their former neighbors and community. They asked the person, how would they find things in this new town. They replied, you’ll probably find it the exact same way here.
So much is perspective. Stay positive and be the difference you want to see in the world or maybe just in your community.
