Note to self #3

You don't have to do anything

At this exact moment

Except relax

Breath

And take it all in

Notice it all

Then

And only when called to do so from your heart

Participate with kindness, forgiveness, compassion and love

When you falter

Seek forgiveness (not to your own detriment)

And try to repent; learn from it if you can

And then go back to the beginning

Bring back manners - not entitlement

When did manners go out of style?

Was it a turn away from the gender and racial divide?  That's kind of understandable.

But manners is only

Being mindful and respectful of another's point of view in life

Seeing things from their prospective and adjusting appropriately

We all want a litte adjustment from the world around us

A little nudge that says "I count".
