National Compliment Day

Thanks to my friend, Elizabeth, I learned that yesterday was "National Compliment Day."  She wrote an email encouraging people to send a text or email to someone telling them, "You're awesome because..." and listing at least three reasons you appreciate them. ❤

I sent one to her late last night after reading her email, but I liked the idea a lot and was tempted to get on Facebook for a while and go around complimenting lots of friends and family members.  I needed to work out, so I made myself do that instead.  Mrrr.

But I also realized that every day is a good day to compliment someone!  My original "tribute" posts here are nearly ten years old now, and so much life has happened (and so many new photos have been taken) since then, so I think it's time for an updated version with fewer random facts and more letter-style encouragement and compliments.  I'll be starting next Tuesday and posting one every Tuesday for the rest of this year, and I'm excited for that!!

Switching topics, I bought some new file boxes on Amazon then spent part of this week organizing my office files and exhibits and other random office clutter... yay!

Here's Elizabeth and Jonathan and the Ricochet Robots game... they have lots of board games (kinda like the Fosters), and it's always fun to try new ones! =)

Mom texted me these two - J&K decided to see if they could fit in this tiny cabinet, and it turns out they could. lol #cuteness #soproud

Hooray for Blogaholic Designs... I still love the look of my "Owl Love You Forever" template on my old blog. ❤

This green template with polka dots and hearts was similar, but also super cute!

And I'm loving this bright new "Cotton Candy" template currently on the blog! =)

Anyway, happy Friday, and I hope you have a lovely weekend! =)
