Compliments

Today at work as I sat there a secretary came up to me and asked me if i wanted a nice green apple which i declined.  Several minutes later a hospital coordinator told me she was running to the cafeteria and asked if i would like anything brought back.  It was really nice and though it doesn't sound like a big deal it reminds me how many times do we do things in our day and not take a minute to see the rest of the world around us.  I read about 2 college students at Purdue who stand on campus for 2 hours a week and should nothing but compliments.  Despite them gaining some degree of publicity they started out with no other intention except to say nice things.



I think it is much easier to say something bad as opposed to something good.  I don't know why and I think it may make us even more uncomfortable to think about.  Tomorrow I think instead of letting the bad stuff out maybe i will work on the good stuff.
