MANNERS

"Life is short but there is always time for courtesy."
~RW Emerson~

Courtesy and delicacy are often missing from modern life. We are blatant and loud and pushy- not particularly good at stepping aside and letting others pass. We lack tact and gentility. We are rough-shod and slip-shod.
     Let's not be. Let's restore an element of grace and consideration to our lives. Let's be ladies and gentlemen. Let's be modest for a change, and soft-spoken, and quietly wise.

I stop blundering my way through time like I am the only one who matters and become thoughtful, and careful, and genteel.
