Letter to the editor: As we cheer on truckers carrying essential supplies, our glass is half full

Posted

All day long from our upstairs windows we are cheering and watching a constant parade of big rigs moving north and south on Interstate 5 carrying everything that people need during this stressful period.  

It is a very inspiring sight and we are so thankful to all of the truckers who leave their homes and families to make sure our supply train runs smoothly.  

We thank them, and they are our heroes. It is wonderful of Woodland High School to have offered to become a trucker rest stop. This is the best of people being helpful, positive good neighbors.



Mr. Schimelpfenig, whose letters are always thoughtful, uplifting and informed, is right saying that for most people their glass is half full. For those who choose to be negative and seek to place blame, I would caution them that they are "stewing in their own juice," which is good neither for their state of mind nor their health.
