The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

And I think I’m back for a few weeks now … you must be so happy.

Cue: Evil laugh.

OK, let’s get on with it shall we?

So one of the things I’ve loved about getting healthier, is walking around my neighbourhood.

Going down random streets.

Seeing at new shops.

Just getting a better sense and connection to the place I currently call home.

And on my travels, I came across this.

I have to say, I love it.

People may see it as an old piece of paper stuck on their window, but I don’t see it like that.

I see pride.

Pride in where they come from.

Pride in what Pita created.

Pride in Pita’s craft and skills.

Pride in what Bob – and Charlie – continue to do.

Pride in how they approach their work.

Pride in their community.

Pride in their longevity.

Pride in their role.

I have no idea how long that piece of paper has been up – and given how faded it is, it would suggest a while – but at a time where so many people and companies are ‘bigging themselves up’ based on the most superficial of reasons, it’s lovely to see someone honour their experience in service of their community, rather than adopt the attitude that people should be grateful they exist and acknowledge them.
