tolerant shopper




It amazes me every year just how the holiday season impacts the attitudes of people while out in public. I am sure we have all been in a line, somewhere, at some point over the holidays and been confronted with someones ever so charming attitude that they just couldn't wait to share with all those around them.
Poor Chip has the blessing of working in one of those environments every day...and boy could he share some stories.
I have always learned that people can't change people, but really, if you want a challange over this next busy month, if you observe someone who is beaming in that ever so grose holiday grumpyness, kill them with kindness...you may not see the transformation in the few minutes you encounter them, but someone will surly benifit. Just a thought to share with you all!!
With Loving Kindness!!!

i didn't mean to be anonymous. but i figured textual clues like "amy" and "kohl's" might give away my identity. i own my bah-humbug proudly!
