We don't always consider kindness or forgiveness or courtesy as service, but they are, as is giving the benefit of the doubt. My Darling Mister always says, "Assume good will."

Carla, that's AWESOME!!!  If only it were true.  Too often we're all so caught up in our own issues we refuse to consider that others might be likewise caught up.  It only takes one person to smile or make a gesture.  Just think what would happen if we ALL did it at the same time...

Looking for the original source, since that link takes you to a facebook page, where you can watch it, but I'd rather give the permalink. I'll look tomorrow.

I try really hard to remember what those first few weeks felt like.  We were all china plates trying not to shatter ourselves or each other.  Sometimes I can still get through a day without wanting to throttle anyone, but it's hard!!  People in general are such jerks most of the time, especially behind the wheel of their cars!!  But when it's working it's such a peaceful existence.

Carla, I hope it works for you!!  :-)
