I'm sorry I haven't blogged the past two days...
Now I could come up with a billion excuses. And let me tell you, I have a lot of them, and some of them are pretty legit and reasonable. However that doesn't change the fact that I committed to blogging everyday for 21 days. So let me catch you up.
So the last thing I left you with was I was going to try and find something to encourage the girl at my work that I didn't particularly like. Well I DID IT! It wasn't easy I was having the hardest time coming up with something. BUT then it came to me. See Sunday morning she had slipped on some ice and banged up her knee and had been kinda limping a bit all day. And at the end of the day I told her. "You are a trooper, even though your leg is hurting you hardly complained, you kept going and pushed yourself all day. You did fantastic!" and you know what? She smiled and said thanks. And I had that warm fuzzy feeling come to me knowing that I was able to make someone else feel better about themselves.
Monday came around and you know what? Nice things came naturally. There is this one person at my school that not .... well not a lot of people enjoy spending long periods of time with. And I know this person can think rather harshly of themselves, and does not always have the highest self esteem. Well when I first saw them yesterday they were dressed really nicely so I walked right up to them and said "____, You look super nice today!" and I know it made them feel good, and they had a nice big smile on after that.
You know, sometimes it feels good when you are being.... what I like to call sassy. Sometimes it really makes me feel good, or I have fun being like that. BUT it can come at the cost of someone else's feelings. Although others may say they know you are joking around it can actually really hurt that person. But knowing that I feel good at the expense of someone else makes the good feeling short lived. However, saying something nice to someone else makes that person feels good, and makes me feel good knowing that person feels good. And that good feeling is a lot longer lasting because you realize you are actually a nice person who makes others feel good about themselves (and I don't mean this in a proud way at all).
Anyways my point it your words are powerful, so use them carefully. And not only that but once you have said your words you can't take them back. So use your words wisely.
Infinite x's and o's
