January 24, 2023: On this National Compliment Day, I remind you to say the nice things you think!! I don’t know if anyone else has this happen but when I’m talking to someone or watching social media, I will think compliments to myself. Someone’s hair looks really nice, or that color looks really good on her, or that person did a kind thing, or they’re in my thoughts but…. for some reason, I don’t always say it because the conversation eventually turns or changes and I forget. SAY THE NICE THINGS! I’ve tried to adopt the philosophy that people will always appreciate a compliment or simple acknowledgment!
