I know what you mean. I felt a little silly posting compliments about myself. I think because it shows how much I want people to think well of me and I feel like I should just be super strong and independant. Plus, boasting about my compliments is a little juvinile, like a gleeful two year old. But, what the heck, I am a little gleeful juvenile sometimes, and I wanted to remember my abundant day of affirmation.

It did feel really good. I’ll have to bring my parents to visit my church every time they come to visit! :)

It’s amazing how revitalizing affirmation is. I had been feeling brittle, flat, and brown for awhile. Getting all those compliments made me feel like a plant whose leaves had turgor again.

Of course, like food, it’s something I’d like a regular supply of. I think the answer for me is living with people who affirm me with their actions. Going to my church is like living in a small town and that’s why I could bring my parents there and count on lots of affirmative energy. (It reminds me of some of the interaction between characters on Gilmore Girls, which I saw you like too!) :)

ps: I think all the people who read your blog are complimenting you with their actions. :)
