Grieving Lost Manners

I am grieving.

No, I haven't had a recent death, but I have had an awareness that the times, they are a changin' when it comes to common courtesy.

Today, while running multiple errands, found me with more 'slammed' doors in my face than ever before. Men and women, entering and exiting from businesses were unaware of my attempt to enter and exit as well. Many of them simply let the door close behind them as they entered a building or just ignored the fact that I was near them and ready to exit as well.

Why? I believe it is just another example of our busy-ness and desire to 'get there first' when it comes to gas and perceived needed necessities. I wish that wasn't the case and I try to do my part.

Do you? Will you? Let's join together to bring back common courtesy from the dead!
