I know, it's a pretty scary thought, but surprisingly I do have some in there!!! Actually, I am really good at KEEPING them in there. Sometimes too good. My parents always taught me that if I don't have anything good to say to not say anything at all. But, no one ever really teaches that when you have something good to say, to SAY IT!
I find myself frequently admiring other peoples dresses, shoes, jewelry, nail color, etc. But I usually just think to myself "How cute is that!" and never say anything. Well today, the front office lady had such a cute little dress on. So I thought to myself about the few times someone has complimented me for something I was wearing and it made me stand a little taller and feel a little more confident in myself. A gift far too many women need these days. So I walked right back to her desk and told her how cute she looked.... and she smiled and thanked me. And I smiled... and my day seemed a little brighter.
I'm a firm believer in the power of a sincere compliment! Great post, Kacey!
