Everyone is in it for themselves

So when your seven year old doesn’t listen to you – don’t take it personally.  He just doesn’t want to do what you were saying.

When the cashier grunts at you – don’t take it personally.  She just doesn’t want to be at work.

When the guy in front of you in line glares at you – don’t take it personally.  He’s probably thinking that the cashier hates him.

When your kid’s teacher won’t talk to you – don’t take it personally.  She’s probably just too shy to talk to any parent.

When nobody at works stops to say hi to you – don’t take it personally.  They are probably worried about that deadline.

But when it feels like the whole world is being mean to you … well maybe you better figure out what’s wrong with you.

I know!  I forgot to put on my happy face this morning.  Seriously, it’s a good thing Caleb greeted me this morning jumping up and down and giggling.  Otherwise it would have been a long day.
