Janeen says the NICE THINGS

So I have a friend named Janeen..  Sometimes I think about her and then it just makes me smile and I want to be like her alot.  She is always nice no matter what.  Sometimes when I am at school and I answer a question wrong, some kids laugh at me and then I kinda look down and feel sorta creepy  for a minute until I make myself think it out.  It's ok not to know everything all the time and it's ok not to always know what the capital of Arkansas is...it will still be there, and I can learn it better for next time, so I quit looking down at my desk and feel okey dokey fine  again.  Little Rock, Little Rock, Little Rock.  (I can remember it now because when I think about it...Noah's Ark rocked a little back and forth on the water and now I won't ever forget about Little Rock, Arkansas.)  So right there I learned two things: #1  Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas and #2 I won't ever laugh at anyone who forgets a state capital for a minute or other stuff. 

I think there are lots of times when other people make us feel sorta sad inside.  Some kids make fun of other people so they will feel all super duper better than ever or something...but it doesn't work.  One day, Margaret told me that her clothes are always in fashion and she looked right at my skirt and that made me think that maybe I wasn't exactly in fashion right then. At recess, I saw Kyle shared his candy bar with Neal W. but he told Steve that there wasn't enough for him.  What?  Candy bars can be broken in three pieces or twenty three pieces! Even if you only get one tiny peanut it is better than lying or making someone feel bad, but you'd probably get a bit of chocolate too.  Some kids always have to be the best, the first, win at everything, get all the attention, be faster, better,  more beautiful, answer everything, and put other kids down so they will feel UP.  Oh Brother! All of that is super duper sad, bad, mad, and silly, hilly, billy. 

But Janeen always says the nice things and she always makes people feel happy and she even wrote me a note and told me that she likes how I do things.  I want to be like that. She is the best kind of people because she's fun to be with and she makes you feel special and stuff even when you live far away.  I read her note over and over. She plays the piano and plans things out and keeps her room perfect too.  But the best part is: Her heart has room for everybody. 

That must be the SECRET PEOPLE RULE.  Be NICE TO EVERYONE!  It's pretty hard sometimes.  Like when I am home and my brother bugs me.  But my Mom said that the scriptures say: Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto YOU.  I will try I guess.  But he better not bug me today!  And...he better not ignore me.  And...he better not say mean things to me...And he better not hide the cookies again...OR eat all of the potatoes at dinner...OR always get the remote...OR make weird noises and stuff.  

Do you ever wonder why Heavenly Father grows everything...even the weeds.  The Sun and Rain fall on the prettiest flowers and on the way ugliest weeds.

He made up the People Rule.  I will try it.  I want to be NICE to everyone and write notes to people like Janeen does.  It would be so much easier if I didn't live in my house with my b-r-o-t-h-e-r...but it will give me lots of practice and then everything else will be easy peasy pudding n' pie!

Ok...Remember... Little Rock, Little Rock, Little Rock...don't throw a rock...then you REALLY ROCK!

NICE!  I can remember that!

PS  Thank you for being so nice Janeen!
