So true. I do get much pleasure from making others feel good and making them laugh.

It is a joy to see someone's face light up from a simple complement, a bit of attention, a smile, a joke.

My mother was with me, and she told me a bit later, that all her children have been kissed by the  Blarney Stone. And we all carry the spirit of her Father, because he was the same way.

She says we all got our fierce tempers from our Native American grandmother, and our gift of gab from our Irish-Jewish grandfather. Not dealing with stereotypical ideation, just stating the true personalities of my grandmother and grandfather.

I think she is right. I think part of it has to do with us being attentive of others and always seeing what makes them stand out and admiring their differences, instead of fearing it.

I saw this eldey woman today that had the most beautiful skin I have ever seen. She was a color so unique the only way I can describe it is, reddish brown. Not quite mahogany, not quite marrone. Dark but bright. She would make an amazing model.

I told her so. She laughed, but the three strangers in the grocery with me, said to her they were thinking the same thing but were not brave enough to say it to her.

Shame that we feel fearful in sharing our positive thoughts but are quick to spout our negative ones.
