remember the compliments I get and forget the insults

if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

I just noticed how many people actually noticed when I got my hair cut the other day. I didn’t think it wasn’t anything too spectacular, but for those who noticed, they kept saying how lovely it was. :) That’ll do me as a compliment!

This is my most cheered goal, and yet I’ve made so little progress with it. I’ll have to make a not and try to have this completed before the New Year.

I can’t remember any compliments I received at all in the last month. I can think of plenty of bad things, but there isn’t any nice comments people have said to me over November, even though I’m sure it must have happened at some point. Why is that, I wonder?

Something small for instance. I got called an idiot today. I think it was more in jest than anything, but I felt a little annoyed by it all the same. I guess I shouldn’t try be so damn sensitive, but it got me thinking about what compliments I’ve received lately. And I can’t think of any – not one. Which is kind of a pity, because I’ve been working hard to hold on and appreciate nice things that are said to me. They come so rarely to me these days…

‘Beauty before age’

As an old man let me pass through the doorway first.

But it’s so much easier to hold on to the insults. :/

That felt really good…it was from someone who I think felt some rivalry and jealousy toward me when we initially got to know one another…but they paid me what definitely appeared to be a very sincere compliment in front of some other people today.

said I was doing a great job :)

don’t know if I’m ready to mark it complete just yet…but I’m certainly moving in the right direction.

How was everything, sir?

It was pretty good, but not as good as you look today.

This sounds like such a horrible pickup line, but actually.. a little old man with his wife told me this as they were paying for their food tonight. So it’s the furthest thing from a pickup line..
