complimentary.

Have you ever been given the simplest compliment, that just makes you feel all good inside? It's a great feeling. Today I complimented a coworker of mine on his sweater/shirt/tie combo, and I could tell that he was genuinely grateful for the comment. Even the smallest thing can brighten someone's day, and boost their confidence just that little bit more. It only takes a few seconds too.

So why don't I hear it happen more? We're often too immersed in ourselves, or too timid, to say anything. But it's so easy and gratifying! It's even better when it comes from a stranger. A few weeks ago I was in a store, and one of the workers there told me that she really liked my outfit. I was thrilled! So often I see passersby and think: "I wish I had those clothes", or, "she looks fantastic!". But I keep my mouth shut. If only I'd said something! Who knows how it may have changed their day. Compliment, compliment, compliment. It's the simplest form of flattery. 

Totally off topic; tonight I learned how to crochet! I was talking to my mom about it, so I went out and bought a needle and some yarn!

I plugged in youtube, and voila! It may only be a simple rectangle, but not bad for my first try I'd say. I can't wait to try more patterns and see what I can create :)
