Today is Day 15 of the 21 Days of Compliments challenge. Looking for a compliment to help me along in my blog today, I came across my friend Pamela’s post.
Pamela said I exuded a zest for life. I never thought of myself that way and then I received another compliment from an old school chum (sorry Marlene) who told me to keep on singing, that she loved the story.
This is the blog from my Face Book page she was referring to:
This one's for the girls....Found out how to send the neighbors screaming for the peace and quiet of indoors! I just found out how to download music to my MP3 player! I sang up and down the driveway this am. Don't really know how loud I was singing but the dogs were howling so it must have been so good they sang along! ....who love with everything they have...
Of course, among the comments was one of my sisters disowning me (I am pretty sure she was joking because I’ve done worse and she’s still hanging around) but on an upside, my school chum (being of sound mind AND my age) told me to keep on singing.
It started me thinking (seems I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately) that if others see me this way, maybe there’s something to it. I thought about how happy I felt just walking up and down the driveway singing at the top of my lungs (so my husband informed me - picture Julia Roberts in the tub scene in Pretty Woman. He’s just lucky I wasn’t dancing too. I was very inspired) and how good it felt. If I bring a zest for life into other’s lives, then I think I need to also do that to my own life.
If you’re looking for me, you can find me out walking and singing (and possibly dancing.) Next up on my playlist is Independence Day! Bye! Oh! My compliment for Day 15 is I bring to the table a zest for life.
