Today is World Compliment Day which is billed as the most positive day in the world. A true compliment must be genuine, or the receiver will see through it. As importantly, the receiver must accept the compliment with a heartfelt Thank you!.
If done properly, Compliment Day is undoubtedly a force for good in this crazy world. Let’s really go for it. Celebrate the power of praise !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Everybody likes a compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
Compliments not only help spread joy, they also help create bonds. Research has shown that people tend to gravitate towards other positive people in both personal and professional settings. Appreciating others also creates an atmosphere of mutual admiration. Praise someone geniunely once or twice, and you are bound to get a compliment or two back. The bottom line is this: giving compliments not only makes the other person happy, it can also make you happy, boost your self esteem and help you make friends.
The March wind roars
Like a lion in the sky,
And makes us shiver
As he passes by.
When winds are soft,
And the days are warm and clear,
Just like a gentle lamb,
Then spring is here.

Seems as though March is coming in like a lion here as it’s been very windy and these winds are blowing a little rain, sleet and snow our way over the next few days. I’ve seen them all in the long range forecast.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A compliment is a gift not to be thrown away.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3637. for compliments to give and those received, it’s nice to be nice
3638. for a little humorous advice received that put things in perspective
3639. for the roofing company that had to replace a few more shingles last week
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
When you cannot get a compliment in any other way pay yourself one.
Mark Twain
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Does sound like March is coming in like a lion at your part of the country. I think it is coming in as a lamb here as we are scheduled for temps in the 70's for the rest of the week. It is always good to give and receive compliments and I know when you give one to a child, they really light up with their smiles :)
