A compliment makes my morning.

I was walking out the door, all bundled up against the morning chill.  A woman walking in the door noticed my new pink hat and told me how wonderful it looked on me and brightened up my dark coat.  I had been ready to hunch over as I headed into the wind, but I straightened up and walked out with a confident gait, feeling pretty on that chilly day.  I think that the act of kindness here was to offer a compliment in this brief encounter.

  1. Isn't it amazing how several simple words can brighten up a person more than a pink hat, can a coat?
    From what I've read, your cheeks would probably have been the same colour as your hat in only moments.
    So, what colour scarf shall we get???
