The Gift of Encouragment

I think everyone should have a Whitney in their life. 

Really, the girl is a blessing to have around. 

Her mouth is a continual fountain of 

praise and encouragement to me. 

She makes a deliberate effort to notice me, hug me 

and say something positive to me. 

All the time!

I have to chuckle though. 

Yesterday she told me how wonderful I looked. 

She went on to say how I seemed to have blossomed 

and gotten past the last 2 years of hurt and so on and so on.  

It was humorous to me, 

because minutes before I answered the door I had been crying.

(just 'cause I needed to)

                  ... And my nose always turns red when I cry. 

      

Also, I had only gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep that night. 

I guess my body and mind had decided that 

I only needed a nap instead of the usual night's rest. 

(Being normal must be over rated.) 

...And I had been cleaning, 

...and I think I remembered to brush my hair that day. 

I see you are getting the picture.

Anyway, the compliment/encouragement was duly noted 

and much appreciated! 

I am not sure how accurate her words were to me that day, 

but I truly feel loved by this dear young woman.
