Isn’t it wonderful to receive a genuine, unsolicited compliment? Personally, I can get a LOT of mileage out of a carefully crafted compliment. Once, when I was 16 someone told me I have devastating eyes. I STILL smile when I remember that. That’s a lot of mileage!
Yesterday, Ron cam home and told me that a woman I met at his office when we visited on Christmas Eve told him he has “a very pretty wife”. MAN is that a nice thing to hear! And very well-timed to boot! It basically tells me that being perceived as pretty is completely possible even though society would prefer that I believe I am simply not worth the effort…
I’m not going to believe that anymore. Neither should you.
