Here at Miss Malaprop, we support social justice, sustainable living, independent business, and while these are great ways at making the world a better place, sometimes we need to remember the basics. And if I can’t sing it loudly and proudly enough, perhaps someone else can.
As dictated by the Manolo (he is full of the wisdom, you know).
And thus the Manolo only has one standing New Year’s Resolutions:
Make the world more super fantastic.
Be kinder to strangers you meet on the street. Tip waitresses generously. Smile at small children and dogs, even when they are naughty. Have the kind word for shop girls and cab drivers. Engage random strangers in pleasant conversations about growing flowers, and your last trip to the circus. Resist the urge to use your walking stick to pummel rude people who talk loudly on cell phones.
These are the sort of small things that make the world the better place, and contribute to social harmony and understanding. Even better, they are painless and pleasant, and make others happy.
Happy New Year’s; go forth and make the world a more super fantastic place.
