The power of words!

I was getting ready for bed about 9 PM the other evening when the phone rings and it is my mother-in-law, Linda. She just wanted to call and let me know that she thought my pictures were wonderful (check out the website http://www.pictureperfecttoo.com/) and she thought it was amazing that I had this hidden talent all along and just figured it out! After getting off the phone, I really got to thinking about what she had said and how it made my day, no my year to hear someone really praise my work. It made all the long hours worth it and gave me hope that I could do this for something more than a hobby.

Have you ever thought that just a kind word of praise could really lift someones spirits out of the gutter? It truly is amazing the power that our words have on others and how much influence what we say can have on a person. My new "thing" is to try to say something nice to all the people in my life when I see them or talk to them because I know just how uplifting it can be! life is what we make it!
