Ahhh- I am home. I wasn't too far away, but it was a whole other world attitude wise. I live in one of the largest cities in my state. And yet, my city (because it is now my city!) prides itself in maintaining it's small town attitude. My town is friendly. My town is helpful. My town takes care of itself and it's neighbors. We might be a larger area, but we don't feel the need to act like one.
I was actually in a smaller town tonight than my town, and it felt as cold as the largest city I have ever been to. No one cared about anyone else. In fact, there was rudeness all around. I was jostled and shoved all over the place. What kind of idiot tries to push around a fat woman I don't know, but the fact that I could squish them didn't stop them! I ended up so frustrated with this one woman that I really wanted to assume a sumo wrestler pose and make her flat like a pancake (or as my little guy says, a pancake bug!) Can't you just see me- stomp, stomp, stomp.... you not block whole aisle just to be mean. Scowl, growl and squint.... pound, pound, pound.... oh she left spot on ground. Oh well!
I can joke about people's rudeness all day long but, in the end, it does one thing for me. It reminds me how much I love my town!
