Being
Gracious
Being
courteous and respectful to others is not always prevalent in today’s world. It’s something that I am endeavoring to change
in my own life. Why not let someone over
when they have a blinker on instead of speeding up to make sure they can’t get
in front of you? Or taking your buggy
(shopping cart to non-Southerners) back to the corral? Holding the door open for someone walking
behind you? Picking up the trash you
dropped? Putting the grocery store item
back where you got it when you change your mind? Picking up the blouse that fell off the
hanger in the mall? What about getting an
item for a person off a shelf…even a bottom shelf…for someone who is obviously
having issues, or in a motorized roundabout?
What
about being gracious to the server who spills a drink on you? To the officer who gives you a ticket for
running a red light…that you didn’t run?
Yeah…that one is a hard one. Not
sure I’m there yet. A work in progress…aren’t
we all?

The
name “Gomer” is in the Bible.
Twice. One is a son of Japheth. The other Gomer I’ll tell you about
tomorrow.

This
is one of those times when I should be gracious instead of saying what I think
(I need to practice what I preach, I know), but stupidity gets on my one good nerve.
I've never heard the word Gormless! See, I knew there was a reason for this AtoZ Challenge!
ReplyDeleteInteresting G words and places.
ReplyDeleteI love your southernness... on my one good nerve!! Do you ever use 'on my one last nerve'?!
Hi there! Happy A to Z!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful G Day post. Food for thought, and beautiful photos. I really like your blog design, too. The scrolly bits you use for dividers are a nice touch.
Those colors in your photo of Gatlinburg are stunning!
ReplyDeletelove the Great Smokey mountain pics - on my to visit list...
ReplyDeleteSeeing the beautiful picture of Gatlinburg brought back good memories of traveling through the Smokey Mountains. Such a lovely area. Had no idea the name Gomer was mentioned in the Bible twice. I learn something new every day!
