Embracing The Journey (ETJ)...of social awareness

Some have it, some don't.... it's the thing that makes you keep a dog on a leash to keep them from running up to people in the park who may not want to play, that makes you walk the few extra feet to put up your shopping cart instead of leaving it in  between cars and possibly bumping one, and the thing that makes you put away your phone in public places instead of bellowing out so loud that everyone can hear your conversation. It is called civility, people! Look around you and imagine that we all really do share the planet and we should keep our own boundaries of good citizenship just because it is a socially aware thing to do. It's looking to see if someone is coming in a door behind you and you hold it open a little longer, notice is someone seems to be waiting for a parking space and let them have it, look around when you are doing anything and see how you fit into the situation, and make it the best it can be. We all get so distracted  that this very simple act of paying attention has become lost.
So let's regain our social awareness and make life a little easier on those around us... its the least we can do! Sharing the road on the journey of life and embracing the lessons it provides!
