Human Nature

Sometimes human nature doesn't measure up like it should....at least not MY human nature. I hope that I can be the kind of person who doesn't pre-judge people, doesn't judge others because we never know why they are doing what they do, or acting how they act. I don't want to be someone who would seem "not nice". I want to be a nice, caring person. I want to smile and be smiled at, greet and be greeted and just enjoy life and hope to spread some joy around...show some kindness. Tonight when I was walking the dogs, a kid comes blazing down the sidewalk on his skate board. I could tell he wasn't going to move over or anything, so I went to the parkway with the dogs and walked in the grass. Just when I was thinking a not very nice thought, the kid looks at me and says "thank you.". Wow, I never expected that. So, I need to learn to remember to do what I said above...I hope to not get mean thoughts...and if I do, erase them. Sometimes, like tonight, human nature is pretty nice...I hope that boy saw my smile after he said thank you! And, next time, I need to smile earlier....
