Sleep-Walking our Way through Upham's Corner
January 8, 2012
 UC News emphasizes infrastructure reporting - on the
assumption such coverage will make a difference. In 2011 alone there
were four
neighborhood walks.
The
reporting seems to have helped a little and the June SNI walk seems to
have created the beginnings of change in one section of Upham's Corner.
Across the board, it's not much. It almost feels like SLEEP
WALKING. Finished walking? Go back to sleep and in the
morning, remember nothing.
What is the problem? Why are other Boston neighborhoods making
progress while Upham's Corner seems to be standing still or crawling ever so slightly?
Example:
Somebody made a mistake [they say] and installed 2 hour parking limit
signs in our public lot in May. They're still there.
Sleep walking? Did we forget?

Saint Theresa's Prayer - Prayer for the New Year
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us..
