A Christmas Gift

December 17, 2014 by Paddy

Tweet

Christmas is a busy and sometimes stressful time.  What could you do to change this? My suggestion is that you try old fashioned road manners when driving. Allow more time for travel so that you can be generous. Let cars into the flow of traffic. Wave them in. Stop for people stranded in the middle of the road. Don’t compete for a parking space. Find another one. Wave a ‘Thank you” when others let you in. If you use public transport, you can also show patience and courtesy.

Christmas can be a wonderful time to show people that we are all in this together. We are all related. Be kind, generous and patient. Give generously this Christmas. The twitter campaign #Illridewithyou shows what we are capable of. Collectively we are capable of so much.

Thank you for reading my posts. Have a wonderful Christmas and make sure others do too.
