I've often noted how people's senses dull, and they start to niggle about flaws in what looks like perfection to everyone else.<br /><br />It's as though luxury is an addiction, and we have to keep upping our consumption. Best thing to do is taper off, for a while, and come back with renewed gratitude. <br /><br />Reggie, few people are as good at heart as you.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-48086410401057491222013-10-20T10:54:37.622-04:002013-10-20T10:54:37.622-04:00A way to live life; being grateful and appreciativ...A way to live life; being grateful and appreciative.

For example, if I were looking at a house like Darlington, and noted, "Look at the imperfections in the glass", I would probably be told, "Why do you have to criticize everything?"Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-46995150448980472582013-10-20T07:20:21.859-04:002013-10-20T07:20:21.859-04:00I read something the other week that put service a...I read something the other week that put service and good will into perspective. It was a story about a couple at a fast food joint who knocked over a big drink. Instead of picking it up they let it drain out and changed tables. The man said loudly to his female companion, "who cares, that's what they're paid for." A man at the next table went to the workers there, asked for a mop and cleaned up the mess without saying a word to the culprits. They slipped out of the restaurant in shame and the rest of the place cheered. <br /><br />People who wait or clean or serve you in any way should be treated with respect. Think before you complain or act boorishly. With few exceptions, the financial difference between "us" and "them" is really quite small in the scheme of things. Count your blessings and be gracious.Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.com
