January 24th is National Compliment Day which is a great reminder to say something nice to others. Offering genuine compliments can truly make someone's day. I am not sure how my parents taught me this or if it is something I figured out after receiving a compliment one day and realized just how meaningful someone's words were to me, but I have no problem dishing out the compliments. Not just something just to be kind it just happens. It is part of who I am.
You never know! Your compliment big or small may be the only kind that someone hears that day so don't be afraid to dish them out!
If it is not something that comes natural to you, maybe just tell the barista at your coffee place "wow, that was fast! Thank you so much." Making someone feel special doesn't cost a thing!
Let the cashier know that they went above and beyond to make your day easier. If you have time, visit the customer service or write to the company letting them know how wonderful their employees are. My daughter knows exactly when I will do this now after seeing me do it a few times. I think people are willing to take time out of their day when something isn't going right but will not think twice about speaking highly of someone. Some companies reward their employees when they hear something kind. Someone told me that they got a $50 gift card from their company one day after I took time to find their manager and speak about them.
So....give those compliments freely. It feels good for the person getting it and will feel good to you too.
I love your shoes (I don't even have a shoe thing but it comes out often)
