This is not as easy as I thought

I reckon I thought "how hard could this be" when I conceived and began this "resolution".  Day two is proving me wrong.  I'm wondering if it is because I'm not an innately "good person"  (I hope this isn't the case), or I've just gotten rusty in the "doing good things" department (I hope this is the case!)   So anyway, as this morning progressed, no good deed opportunity jumped out at me.  Sigh.  I think I was missing the point.  So, I decided to just "be nice".  That carried the day!  This included a whole list of niceties:  smiling a lot, saying thank you a whole lot(!), letting cars in line in front of me, being gracious about service, slowing down, giving compliments, talking to the cats, dogs and horses.  Sounds too easy?  But I must say, it sure made the whole day a bit more delightful.  Oh and I forgot to mention, singing in the morning.  

I've told my resolution plans to a couple of people who seem to like the idea of making a conscious effort to do good daily.  Maybe I have "done good" today!  We'll see tomorrow!
