Let's celebrate the little things​.

​

Studies show that people who do things for others are happier. Other studies show that gratefulness increases wellbeing. Hmm...It seems like stories about kindness could both inspire us to be nice, and to be grateful for the small kindnesses we experience--a veritable double-whammy of happiness and wellbeing.

There are wonderful sites that publicize the good people do (you can see a few of our favorites at right). Plenty nice is a little different. We do love learning about amazing good deeds (like this man who climbed a four-story apartment building to catch a dangling toddler), but there are other stories closer to home that can impact us just as much. As a friend of mine said, "I can't start a nonprofit or volunteer in a developing country. I'd like to hear about things I can do." This page, Real Nice, is dedicated to simple acts of kindness, things like sharing a sandwich or thanking a stranger.

​

We'd love to hear your real nice stories.
