noticing the little things

I had over heard a conversation at work and I felt sorry for how hurt this girl was feeling because this guy wasn’t paying attention to her. That got me thinking that I too had experienced the same thing in the past. You don’t realize sometimes how showing a lack or interest or a lack of affection in someone can be painful for them. It’s important that you let people know you care in some way. Randomly I have had people comment how great my hair or my make-up looks, I can’t tell you how great that makes me feel. Immediately my mood changes and I become happier and makes me want to break out in song and dance (don’t worry I didn’t, lol) Mentally that just gave a spark, put a smile on my face and just made be feel good about myself. I don’t think people in general realize how important it is to notice the little things about a person, it just might be the only kindness they might receive. Maybe that, “hey you look great today” might just make their day and inspire them to continue to self care and improve. Receiving a compliment gives me or the person getting the compliment such a boost of confidence and I think that people just don’t realize the power words can have on another person.
