Though no Goops in our home, my parents believed in and modeled courtesy and respect for others.

I wonder if Covid and he who shall not be named have also negatively impacted courtesy/civility?

I will try to be a better responder from now on!

The Goops were an informative and entertaining presence in my childhood and still are one of the pleasant memories I share with my sister.

Don’t even get me started on people in front of you who let the door slam in your face.

Thank you, Anne, for the reminder about courtesy. In our ever changing society, maintaining high standards of personal integrity is something quite easily achieved and does make the world a better place.

I would like to think if we could take the time to be a little courteous to each other, that would help us slow the world a bit and add a little peace back into the chaos. That being said....I have also not finished my thank-you's from my wedding which is over 1.5 years ago, as I have gotten caught up in the hustle of life. Thank you for the reminder!
