Life Is Too Short To Waste It On Foolishness

---

This husband and I…

Had a perfect day…for a walk in the park…it was busy…lots of families…lots of walkers with their dogs…came around a bend in the path…a warm breeze in the face…was suddenly engulfed in the smell…of poo…stinky sewer like poo…

Laughed and said to that husband of mine…woo…that reeks…we must be…downwind…didn’t know where the smell came from…didn’t care…where the smell came from…but then…unaware me…became aware…a man…in the path…a big dog on a leash…his wife doing a scoop with a poo bag…was giving out…the stink eye…the I’ll fight you Karen if you make another comment…stink eye…

At suddenly…very aware me…who just kept walking…and blabbering like she didn’t even notice…but wanted to say…relax…I’m just an old gal…trying to lower her cholesterol…taking silly pictures…wearing her not flattering belly blob shorts…it’s ok that your dog poos…it ok…that the poo stinks…

And so it is…stop…pause…breathe…before judging…accusing…flying off the handle…life is too sweet…the day too beautiful…to ruin a walk in the park…with foolishness…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
