pve design illustration, mirror mirror -which sweater is the fairest of all?
Why, just the other day, I went for my scheduled salon appointment for a hair appointment here. To my surprise, my visit was "complimentary" as I really just needed a "snip" here and there. In a matter a minutes, I was out the door on my way with my to - do -list in hand. I thought to myself how compliments really do go far.
While I realize this is not an every day happening, but a "shear" treat during the "bah humbug" holiday errands. Think about it and surprise someone with a complimentary "compliment"
or a small token of appreciation. How often are you paid a compliment and or something complimentary? When was the last time?
How wonderful! Thank you for the reminder!!
ReplyDeleteLove your play on words and thank you for the suggestion as I tend to forget how far "the little things" go.
ReplyDeleteIt seems so much easier to give out compliments than to accept them sometimes.

thats such a great surprise :-) I think this happens most during the holidays -it helps to bring one back down to the reason for the season!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful holiday treat. Love it when that happens. It's great to pass the compliments along.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful surprise for a special person! Yes I agree with Heidi it is so much easier for me to give than to receive.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You deserved it!
ReplyDeleteI love this concept. It is like pay it forward....thanks for this reminder. Sometimes it is the small things in like that can make all the difference. As always I love yor drawing!!
ReplyDeleteI believe it can be so easy to make someone feel good. Whether giving a smile, a caring compliment. Many of my blooger friends have looked at my art and made very approving comments. What a great feeling that is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise! I like giving compliments to strangers, usually in the grocery store line, if they have something on that I particularly admire.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I can't even remember when the last time was that I was either given something complimentary! I do get lovely compliments on the comments left on my blog, which makes this whole blogging thing all the more rewarding. As my mom said, if you're having a bad day just read the comments left on your blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow delightful! Thank you for the beautiful reminder--maybe I can remember to compliment someone today!
ReplyDeletewhat a kind sentiment. will do! i've been on a brief and hectic hiatus and am loving your festive sketches the past weeks. planning to work on my man and a bow tie -- quite dapper indeed.
ReplyDeleteive been missing your drawings... hopefully I will have more time this week.
ReplyDeleteLove this post...I got to thinking and its been awhile since I have done something nice..I'm going out tomorrow to do something nice for someone, thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI try to do it everyday in some small way.
ReplyDeleteToday: I compliment you on your wonderful talent, your generous spirit, and your lovely blog.
And every morning when I open my eyes, I am complimented with the gift of life.

I love your blog! You are so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for reminding us to simply be better people.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful story! thanks for sharing :) I love to compliment people on things that others would never notice- I'm trying to keep my eye on the details.
ReplyDeleteI am also so thankful to have a very "complimentary" husband- he is always faithful in the area of giving praise.
A few years ago I started working on just saying "thank you" when given a compliment, instead of trying to refuse it or trying to pay it back instantly- it has been tough, but it is really wonderful when you can master that.
