I have read, in my wading through life, that being nice has proven to be healthy. That feeling you get when you get a compliment is actually a chemical release within the body. Seritonin, if my memory serves me well. Seritonin is teh 'feel good' hormone. It makes you feel better, but it also has the added benefits of doing good within the body... I found the book. Here is what it said;
The positive effects of kindness on the immune system and on the increased production of serotonin in the brain has been proven in reseach studies. Serotonin is a naturally occuring substance in the body that makes us feel more comfortable, peaceful, and even blissful... Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed towards another improves te functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of kindness and the person extending the kindness. Even more amazing is that persons observing the act of kindness have similar beneficial results. Imagine this! Kindness extended, received or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of evryone involved!

Who enjoys the little things in life, like a suggestive shadow, an occasional treat or even a mischievious misprint on a sign. A person who, at the beginning of this blog, is in the foggy region between secondary school and college running around blindy, arms flailing about and loving it. A person who can tend to blurt out statements without any bit of tact at all, and get away with it. And finally a person who thinks deeply about stuff and still doesn't get any further....
