"Never ever assume" was the 2nd thing I learned in nursing school when I was a young lass, the first being how to make a hospital bed that you could bounce a quarter off of. So I am aware of the potential dangers and limitations of that nasty word "assume". (Even though I still do it at times.) But thanks for the reminder!
The first thing you learned in nursing school was how to make a hospital bed? ahahaha. Things got harder after that, correct? Happy to hear "never assume" was second. Great advice for the medical profession. As I said in an earlier comment, I think the aphorism "never assume...it makes an ass out of you and me" is particularly apt for me as I get older!
I am delighted to hear what you thought would not be the outcome of the situation. Too many times people's lives are tarished or ruined due to assumptions. People might attend an event assuming the worse possible scenario. Therefore, they are attending the event with a negative attitude. Almost creating a negative outcome, all due to an assumption. Good story Di.
Thank you! Yes, I think the aphorism "never assume...it makes an ass out of you and me" wisdom is particularly apt for me as I get older! Thanks for weighing in! xo
Curiosity is the key to creativity, to courage, and to happiness.
1000% agree! xo

I love when people climb out of the boxes I put them in (in my mind.) Great story about making assumptions! <3
I do too! And, I am trying not to put people in boxes before I get to know them. Trying!! xo
