Today I want to dispel a few rumors about the word Nice.

• Nice doesn't mean you are a victim.
• Nice doesn't mean you put up with abuse.
• Nice doesn't mean you don't speak your mind and live your truth.
• Nice means you treat other people with respect.
• Nice means you can recognize your needs and the needs of those around you and lovingly know when your needs are important and when the other's needs are important.
• Nice means you are open to people. You notice them.
• Nice means you recognize people make mistakes and you are able to discern when those mistakes are too risky for you to stick around and when those mistakes just need a little more love.
• Nice feels good. Nice feels engaged, open and friendly.
• Nice isn't for the weak of heart.
• Nice requires thoughtfulness and loving boundaries.

So today just try a little nice.

Hi FredG,
Wow! 1978?! So happy for you! I'm at the beginning, very beginning. So far, had 1 day sober this week, & screwed it up (again!) yesterday. Not feeling very good about myself today. But seeing 1978 gives me hope.

Thanks for that, I've lived under a false definition of nice for far too many years!

I've always been accused of being "too nice". Now I know that isn't a bad thing (or a weak thing...) Love it, PD.
