Thank you for the great feedback on this series. I sit down to a blank screen and see what comes to mind.
People are born good-hearted, they learn the rest from their parents and experiences in life.
If parents and their children spend less time on their phones or computers, they can have family conversations and make memories.
If parents drink, smoke, and swear, they can expect the same from their children. Do as I say does not work.
If you have room in your garage or back driveway, why do you park in front of the house? It makes the street look junky.
Leaving your outdoor Christmas lights on until February is not cool, stop procrastinating.
When someone calls me mame, I do a double take, I rarely hear it, and it makes me smile.
Remember to revere the elderly, everyone has the time to let them get across the street without honking.
If your city has bike lanes, use them. Biking groups should not be able to ride on the major/high-traffic streets. They are a traffic hazard and always cause traffic back-ups.
Remember to say you’re sorry.

Isn’t it sad how many people struggle with the word “sorry” when it is the most healing and healthy thing you can say.

I was hard for me when I was younger because I thought it meant I failed. Good thing I learned better.

That’s so interesting that you say that. I never saw it that way. Now I think about it, I believe the reason my ex husband had such an issue with it is because he believed the same thing. I have never seen it as admitting failure. But now you mention it, I can see how some (if not. most) would see it that way. That’s helpful…. thank you.

Thank you. I had a very traumatic childhood until I was a teen so my confidence level was zero. It took a long to overcome the feeling of being a failure so saying it just drilled it it for me. :)
