Day 12 **something you never get compliments on**
I never get compliments on my black 2010 sports Audi, my amazing heritage listed home on the cliff at Jenny dixon beach here on the coast… I have never received a compliment on the movies I make, the top 10 seller book I wrote last year… never once. Possibly because I do not own any of those things, nor have I written any books or made any movies.
So to that end I could write an ad infinitum list of the things I don't get compliments about. But for it to be relevant it would have to be something that i could possibly be complimented on but just never am…
There's only one thing i don't get complimented on that i wish I did, not because I want to be noticed for it but because I wish it wasn't so buried that it sometimes seems it doesn't exist in me.
I don't ever get complimented on being a soft, gentle person. Those closest to me say that it's there but it's not my default setting.
I have however been told that I am softening. For now that may have to be enough…
i think that comes thru more than you may imagine.or perhaps that is just an observation from a fellow "shell" type.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have said that was a "hidden" quality of you. Maybe you just don't hide it as much on Twitter. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's actually true. I decided when i got into twitter that i was going to censor myself less and be the more positive, effusive, sweet person that I think I probably really am but don't express as much in person.. Twitter is a good place to express. To experiment. It's a contradiction in a way, less characters, more expression.
ReplyDeleteHoney I see your softness and gentleness every time I am blessed to be around you- the way you are with our furry funsters, the way you are with my baby, the way you are in your attitude towards other people, which generally is forgiving and gentle.. I see it in your real relationships.. I don't know that being complimented on it is all that important.. it's definitely there..
ReplyDeletethank you :-) thats not a tear on my face, i think i have something in my eye :-)
