After I wish they would shut up, or just take their vibe elsewhere, I almost feel bad for them. (Almost.)<br /><br />Having said that... I always read about how awful surfing in LA is (where I live). And it is often ludicrous. But when I stop and think about it, pretty much every session I always meet an easygoing soul as I pack up. And at least once a week, when I'm trying to figure out whether to turn and paddle for a wave, some guy will shout encouragement. It's like the awesome surfer you met that day -- they're out there! And at least in my experience, it actually lifts those guys' spirits to see a newer person dedicated and excited. I bet you made his day a little nicer, too.DownHerenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-25066998448260696212010-07-25T07:34:52.075-07:002010-07-25T07:34:52.075-07:00He should hire out.

LOVE it. <br /><br />I actually just had a jerk mutter something rude to me this morning, and I was about to let it ruin my morning until I realized it didn't have to matter a single bit. Who is he to me anyway? Just an asshole who likes to make people feel small while they're waiting to get on an elevator, apparently. So I decided he didn't get to dictate the type of day I was going to have. <br /><br />Here's to redeeming conversations, from strangers and friends alike.Kerri Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122209877068112996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-70800792054678182172010-07-20T07:26:20.577-07:002010-07-20T07:26:20.577-07:00It's just like with life- there will be a-hole...It's just like with life- there will be a-hole who yammer on never listening to anything but the sound of their own (negative) voice and there will be, among the chatter of the assinine, lovely people who shine a light. Seek those moments and drop the rest. <br /><br />Sometimes being nice to yammering a-holes is not worth it.<br /><br />Ok, not sometimes. It's never worth it! ;-)Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.com
