what is slice of nice

I spent countless hours in this car ferrying kids to and from activities trying to teach the importance of being nice…on the field, in the classroom, and at home. This bumper sticker was a good reminder then.

Today, I have moved on to a smaller car; I need fewer seats, I drive far fewer carpools. But the sentiment of that bumper sticker is now more important than ever.

We are in the midst of very unsettling times on many fronts, and one of the best anecdotes…is simple kindness, in even the smallest ways.

The other day, I was in the checkout line at the grocery store, holding my one container of milk six feet behind the customer ahead of me who was pushing a cart that was overflowing. She looked at me and gestured, “Go ahead of me. You only have one item.” That was nice.

Today, I got a call from a friend I haven’t seen or heard from in a long time. That was nice. I drove by a sign in town that supported and thanked our local police. That was nice.

 Every day, there are big and small gestures that make a difference and make our lives a little better.
