Holding my tongue.

You know what?  I'm a little ashamed of myself.  I have been making random observations of people's oddities and posting them for the jovial merriment of all of you.  I feel bad.

I was people watching this morning while waiting as I often do...people watch that is oh who am I kidding I'm a mom I wait a lot too.  I noticed several individuals that were what I would normally find amusing, but as I sat there and watched them, creepy I know, I realized something.  They are just like me.  They are just going about their day.  They have kids.  They get hungry.  They don't bathe regularly.  Just because the way they are doing it is comical to me does not mean it is wrong.  I'm betting they don't have a clue that anyone would think it was comical.

So, I have a new perspective on things.  If people are just going about their day, not being hateful or disruptive, they are off my radar.  I am no longer going to be amused by things that are irrelevant.  Now, if you are a blemish on the butt of society?  Watch out!  I'm coming for you!!!

So, be kind to others people or you might wind up getting a blog written about you.  Hold that door open.  Go out of your way to help that lady that dropped her keys, give the perfect parking spot to the other person.  Life is short.  The people that share this planet are all different and like different things.  If you do nothing else today, Be Kind.
