A little compliment goes a long way.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I usually don’t write about personal experiences but I have to today. It made my day and I don’t think she even realized it.

I was starting Craft Class yesterday and I had someone in the class that I had not seen in a few months. I had talked to her over the phone but I hadn’t physically seen her. Since I have seen her I have started running again and watching what I eat. And I have to be honest, I was feeling like all of the work may not be worth it. I was seeming to hit a bit of a plateau. The workouts were getting harder and I was not always succeeding at conquering them.

But it’s amazing what a little side conversation can do for a person. The short version is that the comment was that I looked more toned, happy, content, and at peace. That made my day, week, and whatever else! Thank you so much for noticing and saying something!

I know in the past some have commented about how exhausted, worn out, etc. I have looked. And I would agree. But it’s so nice to know that self care and the work that goes with it is paying off outwardly as well as inwardly.

Don’t be afraid to speak up. It just might make someone’s day!

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
