BECAUSE NICE MATTERS
these three words stitched in sampler form are my best seller, or I should say have been in the past. I have three aged pieces of osnaburg ready now to stitch up to be for sale soon. Remembering the people who purchased this saying.....Mom and GrandMom of course, friends for friends or as a gift to someone who did them a kind deed, but the ones most remembered are the Teachers. I would have to say the greatest percentage of
these went out the door with the people who teach our children. Now I don't know about you, but that
gives me such a great feeling to have the confirmation that it isn't just reading, writing and arithmetic that's being taught in our school systems. Of course the teachings of the former are what we expect and also the goal of our educators but with the meanness and bullying that we see so widespread in our school systems, it is reassuring to me to see that they are conveying the message that NICE does MATTER.
Mean people are at the top of my "Do Not Like" list. Some are mean day in and day out, others are mean at random, and then there are the ones that are sneaky mean, they are nice (or pretend to be) most of the time and then they pull mean things on people, sometimes planning it knowing all along they'll get away with it because, after all, everyone knows how nice they really are and they surely wouldn't plan a thing like that and it wasn't at all the way it seemed....well you know the type. I almost think the latter to be the worst of the lot, and even more sad is the fact that many of them are adults who most likely were taught better as children.
So, my words for the week....Because Nice Matters
are to remind us all that no matter what our age being nice to others and taking consideration of their feelings
really does matter.
Most won't remember what you were wearing or how your hair looked, what you were driving or if you carried a designer purse....what they will remember and take with them is....
how you made them feel.....
Because Nice Matters.
Take good care,
Sharon

Hey Brunie!
I have one of your samplers. I have it hanging in the bathroom that my kids use & guests use.
What I love is when one of the kid's will comment on it. It proves to me that they are noticing and the seed has been planted. :)
I think of you every time I look at it.
Hugs!
