Contrast
It’s hot at the dock on Lake Jocassee, but the vibe is slow and relaxed. People are smiling. A steady stream of boats are being launched and retrieved, but no one is in a hurry, no one is disgruntled by waiting an extra minute or two. Everyone is chatty and pleasant. Peals of laughter can be heard in all directions: at the dock, at the swimming area, at the campground, across the clear, cool water of Lake Jocassee. It’s a welcome contrast to a different day, when tempers soar and sour over the slightest inconvenience, and words not conducive to an enjoyable day at the lake are barked across the parking lot. Every day we choose to act, or react, and our actions influence others around us. Let’s all do our part to keep that good vibe going!~K
