Just say it

There are so many times when I see a random stranger and think to myself "I like her hair," or "that dress is really flattering on her," or any number of complimetary thoughts. I never say anything to the person. Often, I do not even acknowledge their presence. Today, however, I had a sudden epiphony that the world might be a better place if everyone just said the nice things they think about others. A woman came up to me today and gave me a compliment that seriously made my day. That was what got me thinking about all of this. It is amazing what a few kinds words from a stranger can do!

So... next time I think a compliment about a stranger, I think I am just going to go ahead and say it. ;-)
