Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

This is the time of year to be gentle with everyone you meet.

The guy who just cut you off in traffic might have gotten some really bad news,

and be so distracted that he forgot his manners.

Or the young woman on her cell phone who doesn't seem to realize that she is

driving a car on a busy highway, might be talking with her mother who is in the hospital

five states away.

Whatever the reason, people are driving badly these days.

It seems to happen around the holidays.

So, be cautious, be patient, breathe, and get there safely.
