January 22, 2011 (sorry I posted a day late but I wasn't home long enough to write/blog)....
Words are powerful tools so use them wisely. Yesterday (1/22) I consciously and genuinely made an effort to compliment those around me. Some remarks were deep and meaningful and some were general comments to perfect strangers. Giving someone self-esteem or a smile or an extra spring in their step selfishly put me in a better mood but what I really hope it did was cause those I targeted to re-gift a compliment. Here's a task -- try giving 10 different people 10 different compliments. The only caveat I'm adding is ya' have to mean it! xox
