Being Nice

Sometimes I don't want to be nice. Sometimes I just want to be me and to be real. Sometimes being real gets you nowhere and doesn't make you feel very good.

I've made a decision, though. I'm too critical. Critical of life, critical of people, critical of me. While I thought that all of this cynicism was just me being "real" I've since realized that it just makes me feel lousy. I'm tired of feeling lousy.

I know I can't change overnight, but I can compliment someone today. And that's my goal. To say something nice to someone each day. Who knows maybe I'll like myself more when I see what I like in others.

Becky-

You are too tough on yourself. You are nice. But I think we can all pass judgment on otehrs and that makes us feel bad. I get caught in that as well.

I like your goal of complimenting someone today. So I will start.

Becky-I like how you are trying to be a better person. We can all learn from you. Thanks for the reminders.

Blessings-Trish
