Thought for the day (or week or month)

Do you talk too much? Think about it.

Some people are never happy.

I just returned from a glorious week long vacation in Mexico. The resort was between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. It was a gourmet all-inclusive and I don't have one bad word to say about the whole trip. Everything from the plane trip (and believe me, I was worried about changing planes and whether or not my luggage would join me at our destination). But I needn't have worried as everything went as smooth as silk.

Our room was gorgeous, the view was breathtaking, the food was delectable and the staff was outstanding.

Why is it that even when you are in paradise, there is at least one loud-mouthed fool who has to put a damper on things. Our particular loud-mouthed fool was a woman whose child had just gotten married at a resort down the road. According to Mommie Dearest, the other resort was far superior to ours as when she demanded food, they brought it immediately.

Please understand, we were coming up to dinner time and at the resort, you had to dress for dinner. No tank tops, no flip-flops and certainly no swimsuits which were still in the pool.

This woman, in a very loud and obnoxious voice, yelled at one of the staff for a good ten minutes about how the other resort would bring them a pile of food to the pool for them to chow on before they went to dinner. Those of us who were in the vicinity cringed and were hoping someone would toss her a nacho to shut her up.

This rude woman did not ruin my vacation. She didn't even ruin the afternoon. But she did serve as a reminder that you should treat people how you'd like to be treated.

Gracias, Miguel.
