Being NICE

Oh to be pampered...For some, vacation is spelled p-a-m-p-e-r-i-n-g. And the perfect vacation includes plenty of it:)

Now. Wonder to be in an area where so many hotels offer fabulous vistas to pamper the eyes, gourmet food to pamper the palate, all nestled in the rolling green and gold hills where you see wildflowers and sunny skies -283 sunny skies per year to be exact!- from every window to pamper your inspiration... I think the only difficulty is choosing where to be pampered;)

I just found where to choose for my next vacation, that is absolutely Palm Springs, California, that meets perfectly with above description. Southern California is a land of thrilling contrasts, where the palm-lines avenues of West Hollywood, opposite, are just a few hours' drive from the desertscape of the valleys with its iconic peaks. Have a look at this NICE postcard I received yesterday surprisingly from my Dear friend Darla in Northern California:


Isn't it NICE?! At the salted air of a Pasific morning, the fragrance of sea air and pine in the afternoon light and then the sun sets golden into silver blue at the horizon... Inescapably romantic!

Think being NICE is easy? Think again.

Being nice means going out of your way to do the unexpected. If you are nice in an expected way, it is common decency:) If you are nice in an unexpected way, people notice. This seems fair because to be nice in an unexpected way actually takes a good deal of thought. I'm always excited to those people because it promises to feature all manner of goodness from very, very kind and thoughtful people.

Thanks that I have got friends being NICE in my life to travel with on the road to happiness:) I'm so grateful Darla for this surprise, and as you know it's another NICE addy for my postcard collection, I will treasure it.

This powerful four-letter word NICE can change your life!
