I Find myself wondering more and more how we as human creatures can be so oblivious to how our actions effect those around us. I'm not talking life decisions that we have to make regardless of who favors them, I'm talking the simple things, the basics.
Leaving your grocery cart in the middle of the aisle while you browse for cereals would be an example. People are skiddig the wheels on their carts to get by and coughing "excuse me" as they scrape by. REALLY? Are we so cought up in soup and cereal that we can't see the other humans? Are we so concerned with only our own needs that we can't sense, hear or see their irritation? I don't get it.
What about driving the speed limit or less in the fast lane? Some people won't move over out of some principle of pride, others just want to take it upon themselves to enforce the law and some are just plain oblivious, not using mirrors.
How about yacking on your cell phone in a quiet, public place? Better yet, SWEARING on your cell phone, or at all publicly, there are minor exceptions, such as bars or high peressure sporting events, even so, still not classy.
When will politicians start addressing real issues like this?

Visions of greatness
What does it mean to be a good person? This seems like such a simple question.
Do we all create our own image of what we think makes up a good person, based on our own desires of who we would like to be? The ultimate version of ourselves, the way we wish others would, or someday will, view us. Do we project this upon others and expect these personally unachieved, dreamt up visions of greatness of others? We all do it. Next time we mount our high horse, let us not forget.

Letter to Tobi
Dear Tobi,
I am writing to let you know how excited we are to have you join our zoo ***errrr FAMILY! When we bring you home you will not be lonely, not only will you have Kath and Myself to love you to pieces, you will have two cats to torment and a BIG brother, Duke, to look up to. He is just like you, an English Lab, and he may seem a little narcissistic, but he is a humble sweetie at heart. I'm sure he will share his toys with you, but look out for pig baby, that may be off limits.
We are a pretty laid back group....we love our summer days around here. We really enjoy spending our days out back by the pool, sipping margaritas and soaking up the sun. You will not be allowed in the pool, but you and Duke have your very own pool to play in. We also take a lot of trips over by the power plant to go for walks and throw the ball for Duke, he will teach you what that's all about. You will have an auntie and uncle living just next door to look out for you and play with. Lilly and Shadow will accompany you on many walks and lots of front yard playtime.
There are so many new and exciting things for you to discover when you come to live with us, best of all, we will give you all of our love, and Duke will too, can't promise anything for the cats.
Love,
abby
