Napoleon

The weather has straightened itself out, and I have winter pounds to shed—so it’s back to morning walks! I’ll be posting more of those “Around Town” photos soon, but today’s Why Woodville moment is a person.

I rarely encounter people out walking so early in the morning, but as I rounded a corner I saw a man walking ahead of me on the other side of Main Street. My pace was a bit quicker than his (like I said—pounds to shed!), and when I got directly across from him we exchanged “Good morning” and remarked on this marvelous weather.

This simple gesture is why I love Woodville. People are never too much in a hurry to wave, say hello, or stop for a chat. I crossed the street and introduced myself and asked for a photo after explaining the point of this page/blog.

Today, Napoleon Jarvis is my Why Woodville. He offered a kind greeting to a stranger. How much better would our world be if we would all do the same?
