Today

Like I do on most work days, I hit Wendy’s drive-thru today at lunch time for my sour cream and chive baked potato. After pulling up and waiting for my change the cashier woman said to me, “I’m so sorry---and not to be freaky or anything—but you are so pretty and you have the most beautiful smile. I see you come through here a lot and I think you’re just gorgeous.”
Growing up and through out my early 20’s people always told me that I was pretty and of course I always smiled and thanked them, but (and at risk of sounding over the top conceited) I heard it so much I completely took it for granted. Lately though, it’s always family and my husband throwing out the compliments so today when a stranger told me I’m gorgeous, I truly appreciated it and it completely made my day. :o)
