The above thoughts came to my mind one day after noticing how much people liked being given a compliment, told that they were loved or admired for something that they had done. It positively makes people beam and warm inside when you praise or acknowledge them. There is nothing you can do for anyone as powerful as telling them why you love them or what makes them special. I was told many years ago that praise is free and hugs are free so why be stingy with them. I found as I got older that it was easy to keep these thoughts inside myself. If I did let them out, I would abbreviate what I felt for someone without going the extra inch to say why or how I felt that way about them. Many precious moments where I missed the opportunity and it will never be recovered. Don’t wait until you are 77 to discover the power of sharing your love and your feelings for others.
