We just returned from Belize. People are friendly and kind in the city and rural areas. The people are also so very poor. Driving into Charlotte last night I thought about how grateful I am to live here. I can imagine a citizen from Belize coming to an American city for the first time, maybe someone my age. They would be overwhelmed by our wealth. I would hope they would also be overwhelmed by our kindness. When I slip into feelings of irritation,impatient, or anger dealing with my modern life, I will remember Belize.
