Almost daily, I find myself disappointed, even upset, with the words and actions of people in leadership positions — politicians, business executives, media talking heads — saying and doing things that range from annoying to just plain wrong. Perhaps you can empathize. But as I consider how to “fix” the problems, I soon realize how blessed we are with the system we have and with the people in our families, in our communities, at work, and behind the scenes who make everyday life great. That gratitude certainly extends to the electric cooperative community.
This month, I simply express my gratitude for:
- Our constitutional form of government based on individual rights and freedoms, including our right to vote on November 6 for the people we think will best represent us
- Our active-duty military and veterans who continue to defend our country and our freedom
- The men and women working for Ohio’s electric cooperatives — the linemen, power plant workers, accountants, engineers, member service representatives, managers, and other professionals who work each day to keep your electricity safe, reliable, and affordable
- Community volunteers who give to those in need
- Your support and patronage as members of your electric cooperative
Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
