Daily writing prompt
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

I live in snow country; which means for over half the year the weather is too cold, windy, and snowy to sit outside without enough layers to resemble a roly poly.

So, when the weather is nice enough to sit outside, we try and take advantage as much as possible.

I really enjoy sitting in my swing…BUT, the next door neighbour has a BIG dog and when they bring him out to do his business, THEY DON’T CLEAN IT UP!!!

Needless to say, the smell gets pretty bad out there and you can’t sit there and breathe.

I truly wish I knew what to do about the situation. And I am not the only one complaining about it; other neighbours are complaining as well.

And the neighbours themselves aren’t very nice either, so trying to approach them and have an intelligent conversation is out.

I haven’t taken any action because I don’t know what to do, but if I did, I would act on it. We get so little time to sit and enjoy the nice days that it is a real shame when one person has to ruin it for others.
