Two words that are so easy to say. Most of the time....
Someone holds the door open- "thank you".
Caden carries out the trash- "thank you".
Michael brings home toilet paper- "thank you".
Then there is a conversation that occurs this morning...
You look so good! (I roll my eyes and say)... "Oh... but I still have this (grabbing behind) and this (grabbing stomach). Ugh".
I couldn't simply say the words thank you and validate the sweet friend who has been one of my most supportive encouragers through this weight loss journey. I completely dismissed the praise she offered! Why?
Why is it so hard to just say thank you to a compliment? Why do I continue to focus on the negatives and imperfections? Why can't I be proud of how far I've come?
To my sweet friend (Becky), thank you for your compliment. Forgive me for not saying thank you for not only your compliment, but for your continued support and encouragement!
