Compliment

This morning I received the nicest compliment. I was at my water aerobics class just getting started when one of my classmates came over to me. “I’m so glad you are here this morning’, she said, “I was feeling a little down, but when I saw your bright, friendly smile I felt better. I always feel better when you are here with me.” I thought,”Wow, I don’t even know this woman’s name. She is just a classmate I chat with while we swim.”

I am amazed at how unaware I was that I had any influence on this woman’s emotions. I am grateful that I caused good feelings and not bad.

Has anyone ever completely unknowingly made your day better? Worse?

I am sure you have a much larger effect on the world than you will ever realize. You are a great big sweetie. I actually try to model my marriage after yours. Thanks for being an example. In answer to your question. Apparently I have that effect on some women at work. I didn't know it but one called me a 'gorgeous hunk of man' the other day. So there's that. I thought I was just an old fat man. Who'da thunk it.

The general public make my day worse all the time without knowing. Walking around, stinking up the place with their bad hair, poor dress sense and ill manners... bah humbug etc.
