Not too many lately.. 6 days ago

Well…my group leader said I gave a good presentation the other day. I suppose that’s something!

One of my swim teachers complimented me on a very well done flip turn (something I’ve been struggling with for a while).

While browsing Juicy Couture with a friend, a random lady I walked past said in a low voice that she liked my trench coat (from Forever 21). I smiled the whole day.
