Neighbors

Have you ever had a neighbor that drives you absolutely batty? The kind of person of which I speak are the ones that are into everybody's business or better said as their guana doesn't stink. Luckily this neighbor lives down the street, so I am not on her radar for my imperfections, but the things that you see her post on social media are wicked. She called one neighbor out for not sweeping the clippings from mowing out of the ditch.She blasted the local restaurant for giving her son a burger with ketchup instead of plain as they ordered claiming their night was ruined because of the incident. Our roads were recently oil and chipped
( 9 million little rocks) and she insisted that the neighborhood learn to drive correctly and at a lower than usual speed to preserve the condition of the roads. One neighbor had a limb fall on their shed from a particularly nasty storm and this woman informed them that it wouldn't have happened if they just would have trimmed the tree properly. I avoid this woman like the plague because of her negativity. When I see her posts I am saddened by the bitterness of her life. This is a functioning middle-aged woman with four happy and healthy teen-aged sons and I wonder what brought her to this state of rage over the minuscule events of life My point with all of this is to live and let live. Don't sweat the small things Look for the good or more importantly try to be part of the good. So in that respect, her yard looks marvelous!
