A few weeks ago Jonas was parking downtown near some road work and wasn't sure of the traffic pattern. It only took a few seconds to figure out, but it was long enough for the guy directing traffic to get impatient and obviously annoyed. We needed to park near him to get where we were going. When we came back out to our car, it was a little awkward. He saw us with our baby. He apologized for the way he acted and I thought that was really nice. I have a point to this boring story- I think we all assume a lot about each other in this life. It causes us to get angry, be ignorant or unsympathetic to others. & if you are like me(& that guy) you get embarrassed and ashamed when you realize that everyone has feelings and maybe you shouldn't have said or thought something bad about them. I love the quote "don't judge my story based on the chapter you walked in on." This isn't about other people doing this to me...and I don't want anyone to think that this is a major issue for me- I don't sit around thinking bad things all day. I just can't stand myself when I entertain it. I want my insensitive thoughts to shut it because I want to be kind all the time. I want to be the best version of myself & I want to be the best example to my baby girl. To kindness and love !
