How much difference does a kind word or a compliment or a thank you mean?
I have heard people on this forum saying they didn't want to compliment a carver because his work really wasn't that good, or because they didn't want it to go to his head. Lets illustrate that for a sec
Recently I was in a store and a older woman was running the cash register. As I checked out I remarked that I thought her hair was beautiful. I fully expected her to say you fat old ugly pervert Im calling the police but instead she told me how great that made her feel because she had had cancer and her hair fell out and now hair was so precious to her. made her feel good and special.
Recently thans to the internet I found a girl. A girl that I dated 50 yrs ago. It was quite the case of puppy love. A lot of handholding and blushing unrequited to be sure but amazingly beautiful or so I thought. it would never have worked, she was pretty and bright and her parents were both college professors. I was a d student and my folks didn't speak English. We parted company at 16 and thru my life I looked back on that quite fondly. I thought of her in my gunship in viet nam, while cutting grass, you know the old looking back to what I thought was beautiful time.
I found her and emailed her and I could almost here the audible yuck in her reply. She did reply but it was curt and she made a point of not wanting to be friends blah blah. She lives on another continent so there is no fear of me showing up at her door, but I thought ya know she could have been kinder, I mean how often do you talk to someone you dated 50 yrs ago?
Just goes to show a couple kind works separate you from a broken heart or a jolt of reality.
It doesn't cost anything, it doesn't hurt and you never know you just might, just might make someone's day that really needs it
I remember when I was a kid, Jimmy Durante, goodnight Ms Calabash wherever you are. I think that was me for 50 yrs. You can never go back and somethings belong in time I guess
goodnight Ms Calabash.
