Some people just exude joy. I met Michael early morning at the Palm Springs Police Department. His energy was upbeat and playful right away and it only took a couple of snaps to get this fun jump.
It’s been nice to meet a few people from the police department in person, in a fun and playful way. It reminds me to look past the uniform, the weapons they carry, and the difficult conflicts taking place in the news (which I normally find intimidating), to see that these police officers are just real people who strive for peace, safety and joy in the community.
Thank you Michael for taking a few minutes out to jump around and share some joy with me!
