Walk a Mile in my Shoes

Sometimes silly things happen to people. Like today for instance!

I took my 13 week old pup to the vet today. He is a chihuahua/whippit mix sweet as could be. As the vet was examining him, she looks at me and says, ma'am, your dog isn't a boy, she is definitly a girl! After I turned bright red and almost blurted out You're kidding! I calmly said, Really? Hmm! Guess we need to get a pink collar then huh? Ha I was so embarrassed! My poor little girl puppy! Being told bad boy and good  boy for so long I'm suprised she hasn't ruined the furniture!

This silly incident has gotten my "wheels" turning. Sometimes people (or in this here case a pup) are made out to be someone they aren't. Someone might appear to be a certain way on the outside and that is normally what we judge them on, (yes I'm admitting to "judging the book by it's cover"). Instead, that very same person could be a completely different once we got to know them or talk to them for some time.

How is this fair? How can someone just take what they see and just assume? It isn't fair yet so, so common for our human nature to look at someone and already have a conclusion about who they are.

You know the old saying that goes something along the lines of, Don't judge me until you've walked a mile in my shoes. How pertinent to this post today? Everyone is made up of experiences and all together forms the journey of life. Everyone has walked their journey to this point. Everything bad and everything good that has happened to them up to now, are pieces of their life puzzle. Some people let their journey make them into a better person and some just use it as an excuse for their behavior, (more on this topic at another time).

Judging someone for their outward apperearence could make you into a negative person. Cause really, who looks at strangers and tries to find something positive about them? It is usually, Wow did they look in the mirror before exiting their house today? (yes I am saying I've done this).

I thought I would end this with a picture of our little puppy!
