I was in a group setting where older people were asking, "Do you have any regrets? What would you have done different?" that sort of thing. When it got to me I answered, "I wish I had been nicer". It made the whole group go quiet, and someone said, "I never heard that one before". Well, its true. I wish I had smiled more, said please and thank-you more. Been more patient. Said only positive and uplifting things. Stayed quiet when it didn't matter. Been kinder to others. Over a lifetime this is hard to do, every day. Today, I practice, in years past, not so much. If people were not nice on this board, I would be elsewhere.....But here I stay....thanks, friends, for being so nice......Jane
