I think I've noticed it more as well. I've also tried to be more kind to others, especially when traveling as I know cab drivers and airport employees probably are on the receiving end of stressed out and tired travelers. <br /><br />I read this great middle grade book last year called Wonder. It was excellent. the message of the book was: "be kinder than is necessary." I think that's something we can all take to heart!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-74044067434116293162016-12-12T10:25:20.007-05:002016-12-12T10:25:20.007-05:00I'm glad you've noticed people being nicer...I'm glad you've noticed people being nicer.

I notice it driving, particularly. There's a bottleneck bridge I often cross at the height of the evening rush hour, and over the past months, people have become more and more accomodating to other drivers, who have to merge into a particular lane. It's really noticeable, and a welcome relief. I don't think it's Christmas. I think, as you say, people are simply tired of anger and conflict.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-31075000679808874852016-12-09T23:05:33.731-05:002016-12-09T23:05:33.731-05:00The one with the braids looks so sad.The one with the braids looks so sad.The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-60867739371881016832016-12-09T23:05:08.854-05:002016-12-09T23:05:08.854-05:00I love chatting with others in stores and we just ...I love chatting with others in stores and we just need to be patient this time of year.

Yes, people have been pretty nice around here too. My goodness, that porcelain doll is beautiful. I just bought a white fairy with a hand painted face. It was kind of expensive, but I guess we have to treat ourselves once in awhile. You have the most unique things around your house. I love seeing all the goodies you share.
