Times are changin,
I have noticed a change. And its not for the better - the change in people. A couple of weeks ago I had a biking accident. Pretty good fall but the worst part had to be that not one single car stopped to help me or even ask to help me. Not until I was half way home did another cyclist pull up next to me to comment "wow, that was some fall". I survived thankfully, haven't gotten back on that bike yet but I have started exercising again. The cuts and bruises will heal. But a little more compassion would be nice - all around. Take for instance the woman insistently honking at me during drop off at school. And then to make matters worse, she opens her door to exit her car toward me. What is this world coming to? I wanted a Kindle for mother's day and of course my daughter ordered me a kindle. I in turn ordered a cover for it. The other day there was a box delivered from Amazon and I automatically presumed it was my cover. No, it was another kindle delivered to the wrong address. I found the house and gave it to the proper recepient. The neighbor was in shock at my actions. Really? A little kindness goes a long way. Couldn't we all just try a little tenderness? Maybe lay off the horn. Let that person with the blinker on come over into your lane during a merge. Try a little today and let me know.

ReplyDeleteglad to hear you were okay after the bike spill.
here's to less honking and more patience and letting people in.
