That Changed My Morning
The other morning found me running on fumes.
It's been just a few too many days of getting up with the loud alarm.
Far before I was ready.
When I got into work.
My coworker surprised me with a compliment on my outfit.
I was wearing something I threw on the dresser the night before without a second thought.
But she doted on me anyway.
So I let the compliment sink in.
A new act of kindness toward myself.
I went from, “I don’t quite have it today,” to, “Maybe I still got it.”
Her tiny compliment boosted my confidence.
I think I’ll wear that outfit again sometime.
