Cutting Slack


Here’s something that’s stumped me for too many years than I can recount ~ how is it possible for people to realize that we aren’t always at our best BUT not realize it holds true for everyone?  Feels like a lot of folks just don’t cut others the same slack they expect others to give them when things aren't as going all that well.

None of us know what sort of day others are experiencing.  Maybe the terse tone or less-than-friendly look are rooted in a bad night’s sleep or a malfunctioning 2nd floor toilet or discovering someone else ate the left-overs intended for breakfast.  

Even if a smile is met with a scowl or a version of “Bah! Humbug!”,  smile away anyhow.  And let someone do the same for you when the grumps hit!
