Funny, I was recently thinking about this because I got a message yesterday. It is here.

This was totally out of the blue and I really appreciated it, at the risk of pluming my own feathers, so to speak. Sometimes it's just nice when some recognizes your abilities and your talents. Because sometimes, you feel inadequate in those skills, so it's good to be reminded.

So yeah. Compliments that come out of nowhere. That can make me happier than usual.

That was a beautiful compliment. I think it's amazing how big of an effect a single kind word can have on someone, especially when it's so easy for others to say. That's something about myself that I would like to work on - letting people know what I like about them and what they mean to me.
