A line of TTOAST

My kingdom for a TTOAST...

It remains a struggle, and yet becomes ever more important to try and identify nice things folks do for each other... Why can't I see them?

I am starting to think it is because I just expect people to be nice to each other, but really, I don't think this is the case, it is either indifference or anger that I usually notice, and sadly in myself too.

I hate it when I catch myself reacting to someone doing something dumb. While driving (for example), when frankly, I am sure I have done so too and my intention is never to upset anyone, just sometimes stupid things happen... and you try to get out of it ASAP.

So, I guess my TTOAST today will be to the check out lady at one of my favorite new grocery stores (in that I am new to the area and I have to learn it and this is new to me).

I have gone through her line twice and she is nothing but pleasant. Today she was really nice to the lady in front of me who was somewhat of a snob and in my opinion a bit rude-ish, but the checkout lady was sweet to her, that merits something...

What acts have you noticed lately?

Battlestar Blairlactica

I was just playing with my camera phone at a red light and it turned into a short story... while the slide show feature is cool, I think the picture titles are important...

so....

in a land not so far away,

a crazed Colombian American
landed among strange peoples....

this is her story

TTOAST

It seems like there will always be something to prevent me from having full access to the community at large to notice true TTOAST's...

I want to be able to see nice things, but what... my life this week has been spent being with family and I can tell you of plenty of nice things that have happened with them, I can tell you about the ride I gave to a little old lady from out of town and was lost a mile from where she wanted to be...

but the nicest thing I can tell you that I observed was a little girl, maybe 5, that whenever I drop Squink off at baby school, stops what she is doing and brings him his favorite toy... that is a nice thing.

Have you noticed anything lately?
