“You NEVER say anything nice to me!”
WOW. That is a strong statement isn’t it.
Is it true? Sadly, in so many cases within families, it probably is true.
Why does this happen in some families?
That is something only you can answer. I can give you my theories & analogies, but you don’t need that.
You & you alone, as a person & as a family have the ability to change what you say & how you say it.
Here are a few examples I’ve given to so many people. Just pick a few, even just one consistently.
By using these words from your hear as a consistent habit daily, you’ll see the difference you will make in someone else.

Simple words aren’t they, but you have no idea how meaningful they are to others.
When you say these or anything with a big smile & feeling, BOOM!
Add some of these to you family, friends & others.
Watch their reaction of gratitude.
You have just made a difference by sharing something so simple.
However, IF you use any of these kind words, these MUST come from your heart!

I can’t understand why more people aren’t kind to others. Its so easy to say nice words to someone but I guess a lot of the time it depends what kind of life you have had and what kind of role models you had in your life. But for me its easy 🙂
Angie it is easy for you because you were raised to be as sweet as you are! Most people are so wrapped up in themselves, that can’t see the person in front of them that could really use the kindness of even a simple hello. That’s why I always say, “‘If you need to be lifted up, do or say something nice to someone, it will lift you up as well.” Thank you Angie for your thoughts, I love it.
So enjoy your blog today Linda. Being nice to others is so much easier than being rude and mean. Thanks……Kathy <3
You’re Spot on today Kathy. It takes so much less energy & lifts you up immediately. Thank you Kathy, I appreciate you insight.
Linda, you just proved once again that it’s the little things that count the most. We don’t have to say long dissertation to profess how we feel.You gave short concise messages we can all remember and use daily. Great post.
A short word or two is usually all it takes. It’s amazing how even a “Hi” or “Hello” will pick someone up, because you showed enough that you cared. Thank you Ray, I really appreciate your thoughts.
Great suggestions Linda!
I’ll have to “bookmark” them in my mind!
Thank you Cate, they’re so simple, so positive & encouraging aren’t they. They’ll come in handy I’m sure.
I love how you provide us with the topic and information and then provide solutions to each potential problem. Terrific post as always and I so appreciate your dedication to this worthy subject of Daily Adversity Support. Thank you!
Thank you Nancy, you are so amazingly sweet & I appreciate that. I always hope that if even one person can resonate or get value from what’s said, that message was accomplished.
This goes back waaaay back…my mother used to say something like …if you don’t have anything nice to say..don’t say it all…lol ..reframing it ..is also good practice…
Oh my, how I remember hearing that phrase. But how true it is, it’s better to stay silent, than to say anything negative. Thank you Carol, I appreciate your thoughts.
