It is amazing how much a few kind words can mean.
Yesterday Emma and I walked alone together to a park a little ways away in our neighborhood. (She held my hand the whole way there and back, so sweet) On our way there we ran in to a new girlfriend of hers that I'd never met, and she joined us walking to the park.
While they were playing at the park I overheard her friend say to Emma, "Your mom is pretty".
It surprised me, and was so sweet, that I got tears in my eyes. Because I am deep in to double-digits overweight, people just don't say that about me.
She more likely just thought I was nice, because Emma and I were holding hands and I was having them sing to me, and I was laughing with them. None-the-less, it reminded me just how much a few kind words to a tired heart can mean. It brightened my day. :)
I left thinking that I need to say kind words to others more often then I do.
