I wanted to comment to clear up the source on that story (the source link is dead so I don't whether they attributed it to Adams). Here is a video of Douglas Adams on Letterman in 1985 telling that story about the package of cookies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF2fZ2iOXhk. He starts the story at minute 2:55. -SusieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-47446861025079789512010-12-14T08:57:13.062-07:002010-12-14T08:57:13.062-07:00Thanks for the bit of perspective!Thanks for the bit of perspective!My Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773926028026104968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-53287729217728650952010-12-13T13:41:09.411-07:002010-12-13T13:41:09.411-07:00thanks- needed this one todaythanks- needed this one todayAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01400863807852009893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-86816650415010095932010-12-13T13:19:44.883-07:002010-12-13T13:19:44.883-07:00That made me emotional... too many times... too ma...That made me emotional... too many times... too many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-1344855292285939822010-12-13T12:57:46.562-07:002010-12-13T12:57:46.562-07:00Fabulous post, I actually got a little verklempt r...Fabulous post, I actually got a little verklempt reading it.

I am bringing people who are completely new to running and asking them to trust me. For me to do that I have to listen to why they are joining the program. What issues they have (health, mental, etc) and work with them on getting out of that rut and into a healthy lifestyle.<br /><br />Great post and I will ask you to repost this in 3 months to continue to remind people and not let this just be a holiday season item.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-57100154808803421802010-12-13T06:36:52.325-07:002010-12-13T06:36:52.325-07:00LOL...at Marlenes comment about the assholes on th...LOL...at Marlenes comment about the assholes on the TM.<br /><br />SUAR...this a great post.

She was following someone going incredibly slow and in her emotional state lost her patience and was about to honk. It then struck her that maybe the person in front of her had just lost a child as well and was driving so slow as they couldn't bear to drive away from where their "was". That is a story and lesson I will never forget.kelly4482https://www.blogger.com/profile/16035822335691665182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-54178365489610221112010-12-12T20:49:42.205-07:002010-12-12T20:49:42.205-07:00what a great post.. i'm in awe. <3what a great post.. i'm in awe. <3Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825097650104995097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-18647052233429559392010-12-12T20:00:23.123-07:002010-12-12T20:00:23.123-07:00Wow.

And, I'm sure I've passed judgement on others or assumed things that I had no business doing. So, thanks for sharing this post with us.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553067128072502179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-31208426574632517572010-12-12T19:49:13.761-07:002010-12-12T19:49:13.761-07:00Funny, something like this happened to me just yes...Funny, something like this happened to me just yesterday. I was in a parking lot and going to park in a stall and noticed a car that was turning into the lane and I was guessing he wanted the spot so even though I had slowed down to turn in I decided to let him have in and so I drove around to another lane to find a spot. Anyway on my way around the dude honked at me and gave me a angry WTH look to me. I was thinking?? So I parked in the next lane over right by him and when I got out asked why he honked at me to which he replied "You were going so slow lady, hurry it up". Funny that I went slow because I was being kind to him and he in turn was rude to me. I just smiled and thought "Isn't it ironic" No good deed goes unpunished. I'm sure I've been guilty of bad behavior too. We definitely need to watch ourselves and be a little kinder.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556293095167946066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-28949465916796242922010-12-12T19:21:35.644-07:002010-12-12T19:21:35.644-07:00Brilliant.

Sometimes we "react" without taking the time to evaluate how we should respond.
