Words of affirmation...

Good afternoon friends!! It's so incredibly beautiful out today! If you woke up today, be thankful! Get out there and get the stink blown off ya! Enjoy this weather!

Words of affirmation...my fave! It's my love language! I love a good compliment, but oddly enough, compliments are hard for me to take...lol. I guess it's because I try to remain humble.

I LOVE to spread compliments around!! And I mean them genuinely, not like the girls in the Mean Girls movie...lol. It's fun and rewarding to see someone's reaction when you say hey, I like your........fill in the blank. Quite often they're taken aback by it, because most folks aren't used to getting compliments.

I like to take it a step further though, and show my appreciation for something someone has done. Maybe it's something small they've done or said. I try to always make sure I thank them. Maybe it's been something bigger that really helped me out. Maybe it's just having been there in a time of need. Whatever the case, you can be sure that I will shower you with appreciation!

For a while, I would think (and still do at times)...mayve I'm too much, too hard to handle. But I'm realizing, I'm just enough. Because A, I'm just being me.  And B, most folks just don't know how to take compliments because we are so not used to getting them. We're also not used to being showered with love and appreciation for the things we've done.

So let's start a new trend!! Let's compliment people and let them know just how much we appreciate them! Maybe, just maybe, we'd see relationships flourish.  Maybe we'd see children doing better at home and in school. Maybe the world would be better if we were all just a little kinder. Try It! It surely can't hurt!!

Have a blessed day friends! Remember, be a blessing!

Love and hugs...
