People are so rude. Do I even need to write a blog about it? Today I had the distinct privilege of having to finish up my Christmas shopping; and, unfortunately, since we also have to eat on other days besides the holiday gatherings, I had to pick up some groceries. I was just taken aback by the way some people behave in public. They pull out in front of you in their cars, run into you with their carts, never smile, and do obnoxious things in the checkout line that make everyone have to wait - we had to wait today because one lady went over to the ATM machine after the cashier had rung up all her groceries to get cash to pay for her purchases. Everyone has tunnel vision - they're on a mission and that mission is to get done what they need and want to get done in the smallest amount of time possible, no matter how it effects anyone else. Sad. Anyway, I know we're all busy and much is happening and everyone's schedule is tighter than tight. But I, for one, do not want to let the joyous bustle of preparing for the enjoyment of sharing the holidays turn into crabby bah humbug behavior. Remember, this is really a time of rejoicing and thanksgiving for God's gift to us. We're thankful to have family and friends to share with, and really, it's just an extra added blessing that we're all able to purchase gifts for one another. Keep your smiles - enjoy the season!
