3. 5 of the best compliments that you have ever received

1. I am on activities committee at church and so occasionally I get to get up and make an announcement about what we have planned for that particular event I have a hand in. I try to make my announcements as memorable as possible so that maybe it will stick in people’s heads and they’ll want to come, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t (most of the time it doesn’t). Last Sunday one of the Boys from the Quincy Crew told me My announcements where the reason him and his buddies decided to keep coming to Moses Lake for church, and that made me feel pretty good, If I have that much sway on people maybe someday my time at the podium will get me a husband . . . .baby steps, right?

2. Almost two years ago When Dream girls came out Joey (Our favorite Karaoke host) Added the song “Listen” to her collection. So I tried it out that night, it’s a big song and I didn’t quite nail it in my own opinion, but when I got back to our table Angie told me she got chills and Michelle backed her up and I’ll never forget the sincerity in their voices as they complimented me on my performance, it means a great deal to me to have their approval (maybe a little too much) and that moment gives me something to hold on too when my performances aren’t as moving in my eyes and theirs.

3. I ran into Terry Pyle at Safeway a few years ago and he randomly thanked me for being a good example to his daughter Lilly, and I had no idea what it was that I had done, but I kept that compliment in my heart for a while, because up until then I never really thought I had any influence on anyone, so it made me stop and think some things through. I have a special place in my heart for the Pyle family anyway and I’m not just saying that because Susan Reads my blog, but it was icing on the cake that a family I admired so much, would have such a nice thing to say about me too.


4. One time in Young Woman’s Sis. Pinegar told me I had beautiful hands, no one has ever complimented me on them before and it really meant a lot to me because I always thought they where pretty chubby, and the fact that she thought so, even if she was the only one, It made me re- think the way I felt about them.

5. There was this kid that used to make fun of me when I was in grade school and so I always steered pretty clear of him up until we had Seminary together in High School and one day Bro. Stones had decided each day we would draw a name of a few classmates and everyone would have to write something nice about that person and give it to them, when my name was drawn, I received a lot of really nice notes, but the one from this guy stuck out the most, because in my head he was my enemy (I had a lot of undealt with issues I guess) and he told me how he thought I was really talented and funny, he could have just told me I was nice, but he actually highlighted some things he appreciated about me and to me that meant the world!
