compliments

This week I changed my twitter avatar to a picture of myself on my birthday. I like the picture which is an unusual occurrence as mostly my self esteem of late is lacking.
a lovely twitter follower who I chat with sent me a private message which said that she had just seen my photo and she thought I was beautiful.
My first reaction was horror and embarrassment, but quickly that turned to a lovely happy feeling. For once I took the compliment and I needed it that day.
I have decided if I can compliment anyone, I will. You never know how you can lift someones spirit

It is a beautiful photo as you are beautiful but it is always good to get a compliment from an objective person! Glad it boosted your spirits xxx

How true, Wendy. And don't forget, others don't see us as we see ourselves - we know all our faults and seem to concentrate only on those.

This photo ( http://is.gd/zPlulm ) of you and Lily with Kristian sitting on a bench in London, is part of my photo folder called "Favorite People & Places". I chose it because you looked so lovely, relaxed and happy. I flip through that folder whenever I want to take a deep breath and focus on all the kind, well intentioned and funny people in my life.
Thank you for being part of that for me!

I'm sure someone must have said that it's easier (for some) to pay a compliment than to receive one. You do indeed look lovely.
