4. I helped an old lady step down a curb and then she couldn’t find her car in the parking lot (her husband parked it) so I helped her find it and walked her to it and she said “your mother did a good job raising you.” My mother passed away when I was young so when she said that I got back to my car and I lost it.

5. From a very handsome British guy in his mid-twenties at an incredibly conservative US college: “You know you’re a very good looking guy.” I’m straight but it put a pep in my step for weeks and i still remember it 14 years later.

6. Once in public speaking class I jokingly introduced myself in a speech with “I like the sound of my own voice” and the professor immediately shot back with “and so do we!” As someone that’s struggled with feeling like what I have to say is worth hearing that really stuck with me.

We should all think kinder thoughts, say nicer things and perhaps wave instead of honk.
It makes a difference…you good-looking, funny, smart you.
I mean it. Have you been working out?
Nice. 😉
