Dear Young Man,
I am sorry that you were so annoyed by my driving today. I only turned left quickly to stop almost immediately for the long line of cars at the stop and go light. I assumed that you were planning on stopping at the same light behind the line of 10 cars. I assumed that you were even being a kind and courteous driver and you were slowing down because you had noticed that I had been waiting for over a minute at the stop sign to get onto the always busy road. I assumed that you were one of those rare kind divers who was not in a rush.
I am so sorry that I assumed the best about you. But alas, my kind thoughts of you were quickly shattered when you laid on your horn and made a fool of yourself by continuing to show your displeasure by giving me the birdie salute. But I won’t lose heart, I won’t let one foolish person steal my joy or stop me from giving people the benefit of the doubt.
You may wonder why I did not return your birdie salute in kind, but gave you the big thumbs up instead. I just wanted to let you know that I saw your salute and won’t let it steal my joy in the Lord.
So, here’s to you….
Have a great day and go and salute no longer.

Your attitude. Fabulous. Let's hope you made the other driver ponder his attitude the rest of the day.
