Two things happened to me in the last week that boosted my mood almost as much as the sunny weather.
At the end of a long day, after a two hour Zoom meeting, I got an email from a friend. “Your hair looked gorgeous today.”
Day made.
Later that week, I was walking by a woman, a total stranger, eating out on a restaurant patio. As I passed, she said, “That shirt looks beautiful on you.”
Day made.
Don’t get me wrong, I want to be known as someone who is smart and compassionate, capable and kind. But there is something so great about a simple, genuine compliment.
When someone gets their hair done, tell them you like it.
When someone wears a new outfit, tell them they look nice.
I’m not suggesting insincerity. I am suggesting that when we take a moment to make someone else feel seen, valued, appreciated, beautiful, it can make their day.
Be that kind of person!
