It’s Behind You

Sorry for the lateness of this post, very, very late night!
Went to the opening night of Breakfast at Tiffany’s .......

So ended up squashed on the tube this morning
This one goes out to anyone who wears a rucksack or backpack.
News flash – you need twice as much space.
Whether you’re on a bus, a tube train or just walking up the street, you take up far more room than a regular person.
So when you turn around, be mindful of your increased girth.
Sometimes it’s like watching Laurel and Hardy carrying a ladder, and people can get hurt.
I don’t really want to upset the rucksack wearers of the world.
(No-one from New Zealand would ever speak to me again)
But there’s actually a lesson here for all of us.
We all carry baggage with us every day.
When we make a decision or change our plans, we need to be mindful of the impact that has on the people around us.
Some will be quick enough to get out of the way, while others will be knocked down.
Try to be considerate whenever you decide to put yourself first.

Chances are, someone else is going to feel the impact.
