A much appreciated compliment . .

I love a good compliment. I love giving them, and I love receiving them.

Today in BYU’s travel office my agent helper person, Julie Ann, told me that I have beautiful teeth. I couldn’t stop smiling; and not because I wanted to show them off, but because I appreciated her comment so much.

That said, I know it’s important to give ourselves recognition; because if we wait for it to come from others, it’s easy to be resentful when the compliments don’t come or we don’t accept them when they do come. When we compliment ourselves, the glow sticks.

Giving ourselves praise when we deserve it is important, but Julie Ann's compliment still has me smiling.
