"Compliments Journal"

He told me I deserve all these good things that have recently been in our lives.

I GOTTA TEXT THE OTHER NIGHT FROM A GUY I MET A FEW WEEKS AGO. I HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO WIPE THE SILLY SMILE ON MY FACE EVERY TIME I THINK OF IT.

HE SAID…

*I AM WISE
*I AM PRETTY
*I AM A GOOD MUM AND I AM FUNNY

AND THAT’S NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE OTHER THINGS HE SAID ON THE PHONE AND IN PERSON.

I went out for a drink with a few workmates last night. One of them said to me that I have a good face, tall and great personality. I was also told that my English is great and that she wishes she spoke another language like I do.

SAID “YOU’RE A GOOD MUM”

Some of my workmates said that they like my new hair cut!

~ a friend said he liked talking to me because i don’t get all “PC-police” on him or too judgmental.

~ i helped my aunt write a declining email for a job position while sounding absolutely grateful (AND not burning bridges) that she loved (writing style).

~ one of my swimming teachers seemed genuine as he said “good job! very good” as i managed to do something different with my arms (that he was teaching) for the breaststroke – probably because i usually have to untrain myself from bad habits before i can pick up the new tricks.

My workmate S gave me a thank you card (for giving her a gift on her birthday) and said that I’m a beautiful girl.

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.

My husband P said that I’m beautiful. And that I have grown so much as a person in the last 7 years.

maybe it’s narcissistic.. but I don’t care. It was the best compliment I’ve received in awhile, so I thought I’d document it.

”..you are beyond stunning. Alabaster skin, green eyes, and a jawline to make Audrey Hepburn crap herself with jealousy..”
