We all know
people who don't make us feel better.
After seeing them, we somehow don't feel as good as we might. It can be a small barb or a negative comment,
but whatever it is, it's not fun. Thankfully,
there are others...
I was thinking
about this after receiving an e-mail from a good friend today in which she
praised my making progress on some personal projects. "How great that you are crossing things
off your to do list," she wrote. I
had not even noticed my forward movement, but a shared photo and a couple of
e-mails had given her enough information to connect the dots for me. Earlier today in fact, I had been telling
my husband that this particular friend always manages to find the good or the best
in what I am doing and remind me of it.
Although it might not make the headlines, there is great kindness in
shining a light on others' accomplishments.
In doing so, we not only make them feel good, but also help them
continue to move forward.
