No More Mr. Nice Guy..?

I've been searching faces. Pondering humanity-sounds deep...don't be fooled. I'm trying to not be so deep in scrutinizing everything. Yet, I find myself searching those faces everyday, and I think I'm searching for a lost art.... NICENESS. Where is it? Are you out there? Where have all the cowboys gone? Well,that was actually irrelevant, but I do like cowboys and they've always seemed nice.It's a simple concept. Someone smiles at you and you smile back. You let someone go ahead of you in line. You take the time to say hello in passing. Are we seriously so freaking busy in this society that we walk around like stone faced losers? I've witnessed a thread, a thin thread, of nice folks recently. I'm taking it as an encouragement instead of focusing on the thinness of that dang thread. That sweet old couple(fer real, we're talking mid 70's, easily) at the lake sharing their sandwiches and taking pictures of each other. Waving goodbye as we packed up to head home. Another great gal sharing her sunblock at the lake. Maybe it's only at the lake you find nice people,eh? Must be all the pee in the water that we're swimming in...I guess it alters personalities:) OR, maybe it's because in a setting where we're RELAXED and ENJOYING ourselves, it's just second nature to be nice. Kinda seems like we need to do that more often, just take a chill pill and then niceness will overtake the world! I'm tired of meanies.I'm determining every morning when I wake up to be nice.It seems much more practical than my other determinations- patient...productive....motivated. Those are all good too, but I just have to believe that if the smallest step for humanity meant kindness towards each other, so many other incredible qualities for everyday life would fall in place. You think..?
