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.
