This past weekend hubby and I visited with father-outlaw and his brother before he returned to California. I suggested that we take dinner with us knowing that they had probably cleaned out most of the fridge. So before leaving our house for the beach house we packed up all the fixins for spaghetti (garlic bread and salad included).
We visited for a while and then hubby and I started making dinner. Hubby commented that "This was all Jenn's doing. She's so thoughtful." Father-outlaw responded with "We could all learn a bit from her."
Damn right. That's because I think of other people besides myself. Ya'll could learn a thing or two.

You were raised to think of how the other person feels - I'm glad this has carried through into your adult years. And like JB said, thoughfulness is the the violence. I only wish more people would be thoughtful of others. It's not that they cannot be thoughtful, it is just an inconvenience or too hard to think about how the other person feels.
I've just found your blog, via jb's. Thanks so much for your kind comments about my blog and stay true with your naturally thoughtful ways. It's worth writing about the lack of consideration for others in this world. Now how do we get those inconsiderate so-and-so's to get the message? That's the question.
MissJackie,
I've noticed that people are far nicer elsewhere than in SoCal, or maybe more specifically in OC. People I met in SanDiego were a far cry less superficial and just overall nicer than in OC. And people in the midwest and south are just fantastic. It's like they embrace people more openly even though there may be less diversity. I don't know how to explain it, but the kindness and pure random acts of niceness are more frequent here.
Hope you enjoyed your vacation.
