GOOD NEWS FROM THE SECOND DISTRICTDear friend, As we await the results of the election, I want to share some good news. In times of uncertainty, it is important to remain positive. Here are a few stories to get your weekend started. Peter Herrick, a veteran who was paralyzed in a mortar attack in 2004, has found an outlet in the arts. Despite being paralyzed from the neck down, Herrick has persevered through the adversity and taken up painting through the VA, where he creates beautiful works of art using a custom paintbrush and rotating easel. Herrick is an inspiration to all, and I thank him for his bravery and service to our country. You can read the full article here. 
We are often given opportunities to help others and love thy neighbor. In Ocala, neighbors sprang into action during a household fire by pulling the two homeowners out and calling the local fire department. Had they not, the couple may have not made it out safely. You can read the full article here. 
Lastly, I would like to shed light on this week’s election. Though frustrating, confusing, tiring, and more it is important to remember the big picture. Your friends will still be your friends, your neighbors will still wave to you in passing, and for the most part, people generally have good intentions. This opinion piece from the Tallahassee Democrat sums it up perfectly. We are all still part of one family – the United States of America. 
As we continue taking measures to combat COVID-19, maintaining your mental health may become more difficult. I encourage you to visit this page if you are experiencing anxiousness or hopelessness. Thank you for subscribing to my good news newsletter – I look forward to bringing you more next week. You can follow me on Facebook and Twitter for more positive news and real-time updates.
