you tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down

With all the talk of new years resolutions.. I feel like I should have my say. One of my new years resolutions would be to compliment more. It's not that I'm not a positive person.. it's just that I don't voice it all the time. I might want to compliment someone... but if it is not convenient at the time to tell the person.. then I don't do it. It never hurts to hear something positive. One day I had just come into work and my coworker Gayle was helping someone. She made a cone for her and I noticed that it was a very nice cone. Cones aren't as easy to make as it looks. So I told her it was a nice cone. She stopped and said that was the nicest thing she had heard all day. And she began to tell me about her horrible day. That little compliment just helped her out so much. And it wasn't even that big of a deal. So I will try harder to voice positive things. That is a goal of mine this year.
