Compliment Day

Has your mother ever told you: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"

Today's a great time to exercise this lesson and offer sincere compliments to at least five different folks you know. Be sure the compliments are genuine or you will do more harm than good.

Why? It's Compliment Day!

Thanks to two New Hampshire residents, Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, this day of positivity began in 1998.

Today I let Tickles, Aaron's nine-year-old mama cat, know she's still a kitten at heart by making her a unique chew toy to use while she's holed up here in the house during the deep of winter! Earlier, she was shooting up and down the hall, grabbing ornaments off the tree, biting and flicking them with her rabbit feet and acting crazy. I took two hints: 1. It's time to get out the boxes and pack up Christmas.
2. She needs to something to keep her lioness-like skills sharp. Since my sewing machine was out for mending, I went to work for the Kitten-Within!

 





Four more compliments for me to go!
How about you?
