Normally I don't re-blog blogs that are stories or jokes, but this one that Ed Silva posted this morning deserves to be past alone and shared with others.

I am sure that I am not the only one reading this, that sometimes him or herself passing on the garbage that we pick up along the day, and the advice at the end is well worth taking to heart.

Via Ed Silva CDPE, GRI, ABR, Real Estate Agent (RE/MAX Partners, LLC, Prospect, Ct):

An email that was sent to me, that I will share:

One day a man hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
They were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of them.
The taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
The taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy, and he was really friendly.
The passenger asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when the taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so ... Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!

George, there do seem to be people that are so full of "stuff" that it comes pouring out all of the time..  I fact, I believe that whatever we are "full" of will come out.. so first it's important for us to be full of good stuff and then let it spill out on everyone!  Thanks for sharing.
