The best compliment…
One of the admin assistants to an executive in our division came up to me to tell me that she found a new job. As we talked, eventually I got around to asking her what her new manager was like.

Her arms were held out to me and she said, "She's JUST like you, and that's why I wanted to tell you about it. She's one of the most positive people and the light in her eyes just shines. JUST LIKE YOURS.

I truly felt what she said, I even took ownership of it (which is rare for me when I receive a compliment), and it meant a lot to me.

I love to hear that I bring comfort and positive feelings to someone. But in the workplace? Wow. That's pretty huge, because that's where I'm the most assertive. I don't feel that I'm my *best* self there. I feel that I'm my most effective self there, but best? No.

I've been such a crab due to all of the stuff going on lately. I'm so glad that I'm still able to share my 'true' self with the people who matter.

I believe I've been given yet another lesson in perspective today.

The best compliment is when you least expect it coming! I bet that made your day and will be remembered for a long time. Now you have something to pep you with when you need it.

Love your blog!

what you should focus on is the fact that you clearly touch people in a lovely/positive way -- even when you're not trying! that, my friend, is the sign of true compassion/kindness, and something you can't pretend to have and/or hide, from anyone! (not even when you're feeling crabby...)

i'm glad she shared that with you! : D
