Anonymous asked: AG, I'm not one to bitch and moan, but I'd like to know what you think has happened to manners. I'm talking about the little things: holding a door open for someone, helping someone pick up something he or she dropped, not blocking the sidewalk, etc. These small things won't ruin someone's day if ignored, but can certainly help make it better. It seems that everyone is so concerned with themselves that they are oblivious to these small acts of common courtesy. Thoughts? TCFP, an avid reader

You can only control you. Make sure you do those things and stand out. Let other people fall behind. You can’t control people, only how you choose to react to them.
