Sometimes, there is magic in a compliment from a random stranger. Today, when picking up my sandwich at a fast food counter, the conversation went something like this...
Me: Number 27?
Guy: Right here.
Me: Thanks.
Guy: Wow, that's a beautiful scarf. (said in a much more sensitive way than one would expect from a guy at a sub counter.
Me: Thanks.
Guy: Where did you get it? (with great excitement)
Me: Target. (Just got it to go with me new coat...did I mention that I mostly bought for myself on Black Friday?
Guy: Gorgeous!
It was a little random, but it left me with a smile, that's for sure.

Good luck with that! As one who has been sticking myself up the ass with progesterone for a couple of weeks now I can say that it does get better!
ReplyDeletenothing like a good old fashioned compliment!!
ReplyDeletehere's another one . . . you are the most creative people that I "know" - you just look at things with a different and more exciting view :)
There is nothing like a nice complement. So here's another one, you have an awesome attitude. You never let anything get you down for long. And you have great style! I can't wait to see your fully lit tree :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see pictures of the new tree. Oh wait am I bugging you for tree photos? YUP! lol
ReplyDeleteThat's just awesome. It reminds me that sometimes just saying something nice to someone can make their day. I should intentionally do that more often.
