The Saturday Morning Post: Signs


I have developed a fascination with signs, taking photos of signs, signs that say do this, or don't to that.  More of them are don't do, than feel free to do.  

Here is my list of Do signs for this week:

  • Take care of yourself, you are the only you the world has, if you don't take care of you, no one will.  
  • Be kind to others, kindness is easy, it makes others feel better. 
  • Be understanding. Back near the beginning of my first career, I listened to a speaker describe how you never know what has happened in the life of the person who was rude, give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they backed over their cat on the way out of the driveway that morning (my middle brother did that.)   
  • Please park here.  I arrived in Honolulu late one night and was surprised by the heavy traffic, the driver who picked me up at the airport joked; "the city has 1,000,000 cars and 800,000 parking places, some of us have to always be driving."   
  • Sleep - most people don't get enough rest. 
  • Dance to your drummer, be true to thine own self, see the world through your eyes.  
  • Forgive, you do this to free yourself, not for the other person.  
  • Eat something you enjoy.  You only live once, no one ever said on their deathbed I wish I had eaten more kale. 
  • Read, something that entertains or expands your mind.
  • Sing in the shower or the bath, or the choir, let your voice be heard. 
  • Contact someone who needs to hear from you. 
  • Have fun.

  1. That photo. So, do they not want me to park there?

    1. I'm not sure, and if you are only going to be a minute is it really parking?

  6. I like most of these. I don't have a drummer; I bop and sway to a harp.
    I hate kale with a passion!
    I used to sing in the tub. I would end up in a duet with BH singing the theme from Flipper (I provided the dolphin speak side notes). If I sing loudly now, I would probably be edging toward a divorce.

  7. Im with a few here...never liked Kale.

    But those signs pictured. Could they possibly be saying don't park here?

    We people in retail always said no one reads signs. Hence why we got good chuckles when the hours on the door were huge and yet customers tug on the door to see if it opens. Overall I find people don't read signs.
