I never really think about being nice to people. It just sort of happens. I say hi to everyone I see or at least smile.
I remember when I had my corporate job a friend used to ask me after people walked by "Do you know him/her?" my response "No" ..... from that point on she called me the mayor. I guess I have always been that way, even in my shyest moments I will smile and say hello.
It isn't always a great thing, as people are really attracted to that kindness and can turn into stalkers, but for the most part it has been cool.
I was reminded again of how I am nice to people, even people who I find annoying or will later confess I may dislike very much. I guess it is the customer service in me. My mom used to say "kill the with kindness" I guess I listened to her more than we thought. :) Imagine that.
Anyway I know of at least one person who is going to try and be nice to people this week. She described herself as a bitch, I disagree she is very kind, just more reserved, she waits for the "Hi". I wonder if this week she will throw out the "Hi".
I challenge you all to be kind, be friendly, throw a smile or a "hi" at someone. It is way easier than being upset or avoiding or ignoring. Take some time this week and be kind.
A down side to being so friendly is if I am feeling down or just not in the mood and I am quiet. It is super noticeable so be sure not to be over the top. :) You don't want people to take notice when you are done being nice, or just don't feel like it.
Try it and let me know how it goes.
