Often we are thinking wonderful thoughts about a person but don't convey them. Sometimes it happens when we are not with the person and sometimes he or she can be right in front of us.
Let's act on those thoughts and feelings of admiration, appreciation and whole host of other beautiful sentiments by giving compliments.
* Say it *
* Express it with hugs *

* Send a card *

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

Hello,
I just visited your Blog. I really liked the pictures and the sentiment behind it. Me and my daughters just started a new blog and it is similar to this one - enjoying the beauty in life. We would love it if your could visit us and follow. The link is: http://redrosealley.blogspot.com We just recently did a post about "Home Treasures," and it will give you a chance to get to know us. I think your blog is special. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

Oh, i just love this post. You're so right! Think about how a compliment makes you shine. And why be so stingy that way! Will make as much compliments as i can this coming week - the first goes to you, for your wonderful blog. Am a new follower!
So true! How hard is it to say nice things.. if it is hard, we need more practice!!
Blessings, Debbie
Doreen, you are right about a kind word or a compliment. I often send people cards and keep a stash on hand.
I just love your blog! I love kindness...seeing it, being it, sharing it. I take a handful in the morning and stick them in my pocket taking them out randomly and cheering everyone I can. Some days I come back home with a pocket full -- so many have been returned to me!
Blessings,
Pamela
Sharing love is a very nice way to create a blog,I'm agree!Have a nice week !
