In reply to Amie. Thank you Amie. Best of luck as you go into your own journey. I'm a big believer in stoking your creativity, because it's truly one of the ways to let your individuality shine to the rest of humanity, and one of the big things that make the world a more lively place. Thanks for reading! :)

It was nice to read your post and realize Im not the only one. I love to write (I even have a creative writing minor), but I have never felt like I was a good enough writer. When I was taking my writing courses, I always felt like everyone was more creative and had better stories to tell. Im starting to realize that I am a writer too! Sometimes I look back at my old work and it is hard to believe that it was me that wrote it. I think we need to give ourselves more credit and be more confident in what we do. It is wonderful that you have realized this and are taking a new journey into writing!

Barb, I arrived at your post thru Liv’s current BBTL class (livlane.com) & laughed aloud at the very name of your blog. You can’t NOT be a writer.

In reply to Mommiest. I like your positive spin, and I do try and be reasonable to others when I can. Letting go of the stuff that doesn't matter much (like letting the mom with the wailing child go in front of you) keeps us all more sane in the long run :)

Standing in a slow-moving line with a customer apparently trying to refinance his house in front, we can revert to the civil equivalent of one of our primitive ancestors. Ever see an Australopithecus take a number? They don’t. They just don’t have it in them.

So when a store has just one line inching along, I have to wonder whether or not the store management does this on purpose, watch us on the security cameras, and take bets on which one of us will crack first. Don’t let them win. Hold fast to your humanity.

Someone with just one item and I’ve got a basket full? Let them go ahead. A young mother with small kids, or an older person? They can go ahead of me, especially if one of the small kids is crying.

Sometimes, a little courtesy is all we have.
