aubreymEarlier this evening, a woman I follow on Twitter wrote:
BeckySays - Grumpy is such a useful word. It covers a lot of negative ground, and sort of warns people to approach gently.
I responded:
Aubreym - @BeckySays - you know, I think people should always approach others gently. We don't do that enough.
I rarely write something on twitter that feels... thoughtful? Meaningful? I'm usually just tossing off a status update, a 'this is what's going on in my life in 140 characters or less' statement. But there was something about Becky's comment that really touched me. Maybe because I've been grumpy so often. Or maybe because I recently braved both Union Square and Stonestown Mall lately. (I am not a shopping mall fan, especially when there are crowds.)
I think things would be so much smoother if we all approached each other gently. There is not enough gentleness in the world. I think this is something I'm going to work on.
In less high-falutin' tweets:
Aubreym is watching 'The Big Lebowski' with Tom and Tai. Tom points out there are many f-bombs in. Tai replies "F-bomb". Also - we r good 'rents.
Also: The Dude minds. The rug tied the room together. (We called Tai 'the Dude' for ages. Especially when we couldn't come up with a name in the first days after he was born.)
