Gave a Compliment

While shopping (which we did a lot of) and I was definitely bored of at times. I really do not like shopping too much but anyways...I liked a shirt that a woman was wearing. Everyone has such neat, unique style in New York. I was right next to her in a store and made eye contact with her and complimented it. It seemed like she was actually thrown off by my compliment and was not expecting it but smiled at me and said, "oh thanks!" Making contact with her and saying something positive to her made us both smile and while still in the store about five minutes later she was still smiling! It was a great feeling even if it was as simple as saying something like, "I really like your shirt." Everyone should try giving someone a compliment a day...but make it genuine.

someone did this to my very old grandpa on the bus once, and afterwards he told me how nice it was of the person. it made a big difference to him and i'm sure it did to this woman too!

I do that all the time and it makes me feel so good!!! People don't compliment others because they don't know the person, but that's just silly. It's just a win-win situation.
