While driving down the Volunteer Parkway today my attention was drawn to the built environment and what I saw made me smile.
Over the past few years a number of new commercial buildings have been constructed and other older structures have found new uses and have been nicely upgraded; several remnants of a former era have gone the way of the wrecking ball; the right-of-way maintains a pleasing and kept look; and overall the landscape reflects the positive image that we've been working hard to convey.
The list of specific projects is long and reflects a continual rebirth consistent with the ebb and flow of a dynamic community.
Rather than reflect on what wasn't there - I found myself reflecting on what was.
A glass is either half full or half empty depending on your view of the world. Let's see things as half full as the power of positive thought is contagious and momentum builds upon itself.
With such power behind it - it won't be long before our glass is overflowing.
