It's so sad that people forget to be kind to each other. I live across the street (directly) from a reasonably busy mall. It has a great grocery store, hardware store, fitness outlet, and smaller clothing stores. I have always enjoyed going over there when I need something.... Well, not today. I went over about 9:00 am but it's really cold up here so I decided to take my scooter and not push the walking. I go over and first thing I get really "dirty looks" for using my scooter. People walk in front of me all the time and I get so frustrated! I should not have to explain or make excuses for why I have a hard time walking. I'm young (I think so!) at 43 but RSD has made some things harder for me to do. I just don't have the time of day for nasty behaviour from others. What is this all about? Christmas is supposed to be a time of sharing, enjoying family and friend connections. It's really disappointing that the "feeling" of the Season is lost on so many -- just feeling overwhelmed, obligated, etc.? Truly a shame!
