A Lesson On Trying To Be A Better Person, For Roxy

There are many little sayings that have been passed on from one person to another to wish luck or good fortune. One of these is "see a penny, pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck" and another, although it is not a saying, is that if a bird poops on you it is very lucky. (Personally I think that someones mother made this one up.) Anyway, this story is a little bit about luck and a little bit about trying to be a better person.

A woman was walking her dog around the lake one morning. The dog had a big cone on his head because he had surgery on his eye. This collar is large and makes it difficult to maneuver around objects. Because this woman was Canadian, she was walking on the right side of the sidewalk. A few minutes into her walk, another woman crossed the street with her dog and baby in a jogging stroller. Why she didn't wait two minutes until the first lady had passed we will never know. She then moved right in front of the first lady and blocked her path. The first lady attempted to move her dog into the street so they could pass, but there were too many cars coming to do it safely. The second lady said "move to the left and go around, that would make more sense!" The first lady did so, even though she really wanted to say "walk on the right b*tch! Do you drive like that?!" Instead she closed her eyes and said a silent prayer of good wishes "May a thousand birds shit on your head."

How zen is that?!
