This post was amazin...How much truth can we stand? This post was amazing to me in its honesty. How we really hate to look deep, and find these things out. SO true.

I do this deliberately to pass on a little good grace to others. <br />Thanking someone who doesn't expect it - a doorman at a hotel, a busboy at a restaurant ...etc... will have the same effect. Suddenly the person straightens up, looks others in the eye, and smiles, rather than treating his/her job as drudgery.<br />so yes, I agree - there is an unspoken tonality to pain which often makes someone react with unexpected force at a simple comment. And to simply step forward and somehow say, I care, will diffuse this pain to some extent.<br />Marytinybeads2004https://www.blogger.com/profile/13401896906429971522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15901777.post-59345613605306089952010-10-11T15:22:00.252-03:002010-10-11T15:22:00.252-03:00Humor is what gets us through our dark times.

Of course you'll all send me care packages when I'm eventually locked away, right? Just kidding :)Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939739757623364406noreply@blogger.com
