Time Changes We were just a little "off" today...shorter than usual naps, a little grumpier than usual. I blame it on the time change. Or...maybe it's that we all seem to be coming down with colds. We had barely started our day when I realized that I was going to have a difficult time keeping up with all the sneezes, runny noses, etc. The sweater I wore today really came in handy. It had two big pockets... I filled the left pocket with clean tissues, and the right pocket... You get the picture. Sometimes I have to get creative!
Times Change There's been a lot of media talk lately about the current lack of manners and social etiquette. It seems like this lack is becoming the norm. Manners and social skills are a big deal with me...we practice them all day long. So now I'm starting to wonder: Are good manners no longer considered necessary? Am I wasting my time? Any thoughts out there???
Have a great night!!!! : )
I am anxious to hear some comments from the young ones, I tried to pay closer attention to the people in the places that I "visited" today (coffee shop, drugstore, library, grocery store, Walmart. car wash) and indeed the older generation were the most gracious, most forthcoming with please and thank you! I am NOT good with written thank yous, my nest mate does not believe in spending the money for cards. I should learn to make wonderful and unique ones like my oldest sister! I TRY to say thanks at the moment. Farm Girl sends thank yous all the time!! Well you owlets, let us hear what you hoot about manners. I say Farm Girl you keep right on teaching those little ones just the way you are. They are so good at saying, up please, read please, more please, etc.
