28 days of nice was harder than I thought.
I am basically a nice person.
If you were to list the attributes of Melinda, I am sure nice is on the list some where.
Maybe not at the top-- probably funny, crafty, happy, organized...would all come ahead of nice, but I am pretty sure nice would make the list at some point.
So this "Nice Month" is about thinking about nice above and beyond my normal call of duty.
Sheesh......
I tried to keep a list of what that entailed for me to see if I was getting any nicer. Some times I only did the Nice thing because I knew I was making the list...it held me accountable, or hostage, as the case may be.
Some days took a lot of searching to find that little extra bit of NICE
1: Picked up other teacher's garbage
2: Sat by those I don't usually sit by....and talked.
3: Dropped everything and sat and rocked my girl!
4: Extra lovin for my Wayne
5: Helped a friend with pick ups and car issues
6: Cleaned the kitchen without yelling at my kids, who should have cleaned the kitchen
7: Sent a loving missionary package
8: Delivered carmel popcorn to those in need......of carmel popcorn!
9: Left a tip at Maverick
10: Made sure Wayne Video taped Monson's concert and I watched it with him later
11: Took get well goody bag to Jan
12: Made Valentine's for the cast
13: Helped with Stephen's farewell...goodies and flowers
14: Thought of Holly in planning the Love Fest
15: Let Monson go to game at WX instead of YM
16: Took Laila her Library book in the middle of the school day
17: Cleaned up greenroom at CPT
18: Helped the refs out at Monson's b ball game, by personally giving technicals to the Viewmont team.
19: Arranged rides for my play...got out of costume and microphone QUICKLY so peeps wouldn't have to wait for me so long
20: Shoveled many walks, visited
21: Did the Laila driving thing...let her have a sleep over....even though a pain for me to pick up, deliver, take, wait, drive....you get the idea.
22: Organized where Laila is at so Wayne didn't have to worry
23: Cleaned other people's tables at a bakery
24: Made scarves and gave them away
25: Chauffeured
26: Came home after the show to be with Wayne, instead of going out with the Cast
27: Didn't get mad at the dog or peeing on the bathroom floor...even dogs need a break some times
28: Knitted beanies.....gave them all away
Wow.....glad this month is over...........On to March Madness!!
