Doing Good vs. Meaning Well

In this era of convergence and connectivity where clicking a 'thumbs up' or giving someone's post on social media a 'like' feels as if we've done something except in reality we've done nothing, too many of us get exhausted just contemplating actually taking action on anything.

It's the weekend, so in theory, this is when we could do things, except there's college football today and pro football tomorrow and shopping for Thanksgiving and maybe for a headstart on Christmas, and, and, and...

But, how about today, here in the area of The Rose of New England, we choose to really do something, head for downtown and Main Street to the Otis Library and enjoy the offerings at the 11th annual O'Tis a Festival

There is food and drink at the library and at the thousands of restaurants (your mileage may vary depending on your hunger) that surround the library while inside, the shelves of books will share space for the day with dozens of local artisans and craftspersons with handmade delights of every description and at least one or more of them will be just the thing for someone special in your life.

It starts at ten this morning and goes until three and you will be very pleased with yourself as a real-life action figure supporting our town. See you there.
