Beautiful You
Feels like a good day for a rerun.
Enjoy.
♥
So.
I’ve recently returned to the place I call home after a few weeks of travel
& I just gotta tell you …
I ADORE a good road trip. I do.
I love the sights, I love the sounds, I love the slow and steady process of getting from Point A to Point B.
I love the rest stops, the Love’s Travel Stops gift shops and the steaming hot coffees to go.
Yep
I love everything about it.
Especially the people.
Ooooooh, People.
You are just so darn nice and neighborly
& maybe it’s because we are all in the same ! VACATION ! frame of mind, but I’ve yet to meet a meanie while traveling.
It’s true.
Smiles.
Good Mornings !
Hold the door.
No, it’s ok, you go first.
Genuine HI-s, Hey there, Hellooooos !
& even more wonderfully endless smiles, smiles, smiles.
There’s quite a lot of pleasantness in these United States of America.
Oh YES, there is.
Niceys, I’m telling you.
Niceys are everywhere.
Which got me to thinking.
Dang, I wish I could write those stories.
Give me a hard working vehicle, a patient driver, a road map to nowhere in particular, a notebook, a side road and I’ll find you
& You
& You
& You
& youyouyouyouyouyou.
Because I know beautiful YOU is out there, quietly chugging along doing your thing, treating your neighbor as you would like your neighbor to treat you.
Living life, loving life.
Being a good, decent, human being on this planet we call Earth
& we just don’t hear enough about you on the nonstop, 24 hour, breaking, nightly news
& it’s too bad
& kinda sad.
Because YOU are America, people !!
You’re dependable and kind.
You’re helpful and generous
& you’d rather not spend your precious time being angry at me
& btw …
I really, REALLY don’t want to be mad at you.
Deep down, I am POSITIVE we all just want NICE.
Nice.
So.
As you go about your today, remind yourself and your fellow peeps that YES, you are a good person
& they are too !
Give them a hearty GOOD MORNING !
Hold that door or let them go first
Hand around those HI-s, Hey there
& Helloooooos
& always remember to smile.
Because we are all in this together, my friends.
Share your niceness.
