When I was about 10, I wrote Ann Landers a letter and put it on my father's bureau to mail. My parents then wanted to have a talk with me. What could be so wrong that I'd write Ann Landers instead of talking to them? I told them that I just wanted to ask a question: Why weren't people nice to each other? It didn't seem hard to me and it clearly made the world a better place. Not being nice seemed to be a lot more difficult. My letter did get mailed, but I never saw a reply in the paper. Believe me, I looked!<br /><br />When I was a young adult, I almost had some bumper stickers made: Practice Strategic Acts of Kindness and Meaningful Beauty. I figured that if kindness could be done strategically and beauty could be meaningful (instead of senseless), it would have a greater effect on the world. Now that I'm much older, I'm happy for any act of kindness or beauty. I try to be kind throughout my day. Even if it's not noticed or appreciated by others, I am glad and that has value for me. Beauty can be seen almost everywhere, if only we are open to seeing it. These are things that make me smile.allenwoodhavennoreply@blogger.com
