PLAY NICE IN THE SANDBOX EVERYONE

Hi everyone....



Okay so I said I would try to increase the frequency of my blogs.....oops



I guess life just happens to get in the way of trying to do everything. It has been a hectic summer already and it has only just begun.....I am going to have to learn to either say no or get some lessons on how to set priorities.

Anyway, what I want to talk about today is something that has been bothering me for quite some time and now feel that I have to deal with it. It is not a pleasant subject so here goes....



Why oh why are people so mean. I have been reading the forums on several sites and have noticed that some people can be really mean, arrogant and very opinionated to the point of belittling other sellers.Do these people not have enough of their own work to do? They should not be telling other people how to run their business or their lives.



This not only happens at Bonanzle but other venues as well. I came across a poem which might give people some food for thought.



GRANDMA'S PEARLS OF WISDOM



I've travelled paths you've yet to walk

Learned lessons old and new

And now this wisdom of my life

I'm blessed to share with you



Let kindness spread like sunshine

Embrace those who are sad

Respect their dignity, give them joy

And leave them feeling glad



Forgive those who might hurt you

And though you have your pride

Listen closely to their viewpoint

Try to see the other side



Walk softly when you're angry

Try not to take offense

Invoke your sense of humor

Laughter's power is immense



Express what you are feeling

Your beliefs you should uphold

Don't shy away from what is right

Be courageous and be bold



Keep hope right in your pocket

It will guide you day by day

Take it out when it is needed

When it's near, you'll find a way



Remember friends and family

Of which you are a precious part

Love deeply and love truly

Give freely from your heart



The world is far from perfect

There's conflict and there's strife

But you can still make a difference

By how you live your life

I hope everyone will think about the words in this poem....and the next time before you take a strip off someone's back you will stop and think before you type.



I have been fortunate that no one has taken a strip off my back, but I cannot help but feel some emotions for those that I have seen this happen to. Life is too short. And so now I say



PLAY NICE IN THE SANDBOX..... we all have to get along.



I have not injected much humor into this blog as I believe this subject is just way to serious to joke about.



Now for some fun stuff....check out my booth at http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/jinx

I have added some new items and will be adding more over the next few days. I also plan to add a "Layaway" program. Christmas is coming..... LOL (not that far away actually)



So till next time...Be Safe ...Be Happy...
