My challenge to you all today... Be nice! Treat everyone you come in contact with with respect. Can you go one entire day without saying something mean or unkind about another person? Can you refrain from being rude to your loved ones or strangers? What about the annoying person who cuts you off, is rude to you, or the slow sales person? There is so much misery and suffering in the world today. Between mass shootings, cancer, natural disasters, violence, graffiti, death of loved ones and idols/mentors, we don’t need any more negativity. Just for one day, be kind to others...that includes yourself. Smile at someone, do something nice, refrain from needless criticism. Can you do this for one entire day? Think about it...Try it...Do it. Spread a little love and joy. DENISE CANNIZZO Denise Cannizzo, a.k.a.
