And I don't even mean "nice" like "volunteer 80 hours a week, give all my money to charity, donate the organs that I'm still using" kind of nice. I just mean common courtesy. Saying "please" and "thank you." I noticed how surprised I was when a Chick-fil-A drive thru person (give me a break, I was hungry) said "My pleasure!" with a big smile. Wow, that was nice. Or when a stranger lingered for an extra moment in order to hold a door open for me. Gosh, that was nice too.
But shouldn't that stuff be routine? Shouldn't we at least be considerate to our fellow mankind?
I thought that maybe a "campaign for niceness" was necessary. Now, I've started blogs before. I tend to give up quickly, but I'm hoping I can stay strong with this one because even if no one reads it, it can be like my happy-therapy for the day. So if you're like me and think the world could use a little more "NICE", check it out.

It's a friggin' dot-com, even; you must be serious this time.
We have an Operation Nice up here already. It's called All Of Canada...
(except for me).
I don't know. I heard that guy from Loverboy is kind of a jerk.
LOVE it! i'll be checking religiously!
I think this is such a great idea. I always try to turn the other cheek and be understanding. It's hard, because sometimes I feel like I'm the only one trying! Then somedays I'm in a bad mood and can't help to be snarky. I'm trying to work on that.
How wonderful is this Mel. This is an excellent idea!
Canada has nice people..? I don't know, but I do know some Canadians are always begging' for cookies!
* WINK *
Enough winking, make with the cookies.
Mel this is wonderful. Keep up the good work!
I have a brother-in-law who is seriously always in a miserable mood and therefore just a miserable person. I really think it must take so much energy to be that way all the time! Being nice is so much easier and makes everyone around you so much happier!
I love love this idea!! I'll definitely be a frequent visitor.
How cool Melissa! I saw this somewhere and thought it was great but didn't realize it's yours -- now it's even GREATER!
Haha, thanks Mary! :-) And thanks everyone else! I hope you all check in occasionally. Wouldn't it be awesome if the idea of being nice caught on like a fad??
