The Five Best Things about Sign Waving
Today was my very first ever time to stand on a corner and wave a sign for a political candidate. I was anxious to see how it went, not having the natural enthusiasm of some more experienced and expressive folks, but determined to pitch in. And it was quite fun! So for those of you who may be shy about such things, let me share with you the five best things about sign waving:
1. You get to practice your Miss America wave. You know you always wanted an excuse to do that.
2. You don’t have to wonder “does my butt look big in this sign?” because the sign covers EVERYTHING! Everyone is a perfect size 10 behind a campaign sign if held properly!
3. Great excuse to get a manicure … “But people will be looking at my hands while I wave to them, and I must represent my candidate well!”
4. People wave BACK! If you’re feeling a little blue, grab a sign, pick a busy corner and WAVE and SMILE! Instant pick me up when folks wave and smile back! I’d estimate 1 of every 4 cars that drove by either waved, smiled, honked, thumbs upped us.
5. Calories expended. Not a tongue dragging cardio workout mind you, but 2 hours of standing on your feet and waving beats 2 hours sitting on your couch and reaching for bonbons. Not to mention the fresh air. Yep, sign waving is healthy!
There ya have it! Now decide which candidate best represents your values, grab a sign, pick a corner and let me know what you think the five best things about sign waving are!
