This seems simple enough. How hard can it be? Just be nice. What would it cost you to just be nice? A smile, a kind word, patience, a hug, a handwritten letter, an encouraging text message, a drink of water, a sandwich, letting someone else go first, listening, a pat on the back, a "great job", a "try it again...you can do it"...what else comes to mind that you could do? So often during the day we say something rude, show our impatience, laugh at another's problems, snap at someone who doesn't move fast enough or do things just the way we think they should, pass by someone who needs a smile, etc. We become preoccupied with our own lives and our own problems and forget that those things are not caused by all those people around us. What if we forgot our own problems for a minute and decided to Just Be Nice? If we all did that even once a day, wouldn't our world be a kinder and gentler place to live? Just a thought...
