Okay, today we live in a very technologically advanced world. Public restrooms are finally starting to to come into the 21st century. It is virtually a touch less environment. You can do your business and the toilet will flush for you (albeit, sometimes a little too soon). You then get to the sink and like magic the water turns on, even the soap squirts automatically for you. You walk over to the paper towels and they have a sensor that grinds out a few inches for you to dry your hands. Granted sometime you have to do a little dance to get it to come out. But still, it comes out and you have managed to not touch anything, so your hands are “germ-free”. You go on your merry way until you hit the door. And them BAM, your germ-free hands have hit a speed bump. The door has a nob. Or even worse, swings in so you can’t push it with your butt. Nooooooooo! You are so clean and now you have to touch that nasty door handle. You know there have been countless people who “wipe and go” without utilizing the nifty automatic hand washing system. It never fails. So close, yet so far away.

So, this is a call to all companies to provide us with a door that has no knob and swings both ways. If you really want to be fancy, an automatic door opener would be fantastic. A little wave of the hand and it automatically opens to let you out. How nice would that be?! But, alas, I know that can be spendy. So for now, if you could at least remove the knob and let the door swing, I would appreciate it. If you are really cheap, then please provide a open trash can on the other side of the door so we can at least open the door with a paper towel and throw it out on the other side. Is that too much to ask?

Sometimes life comes at you fast.  School, career… relationships.  When you move away, start a new life, sometimes you get lost and forget what is important to you.  But when you get the opportunity to reconnect, remember what is important, then it can be a life changing experience.  It is easy to “forget” friends.  Getting caught up in the moment… you can get carried away.  The reason I put “forget” in quotations, is that you never really forget what they meant to you.  You just lose track of time.  You think for some reason they will be there for you when you decide to come back.  Sometimes you are wrong.  But if they are true friends, they will always be there.  But the important thing to remember…  YOU have to come back.  It has to be you that really snaps back to reality.  This is a small comment to remind anyone, who may have lost track of time, to reconnect.  Even if just for a moment.  Let your friends know you care.  “Stuff” happens to everyone and everyone handles it different.  But never forget.  Never forget your friends.
