Writer's Block: Flattery will get you everywhere

[Error: unknown template qotd]Grr...LJ seems to have trouble with it's writer's block. First it didn't post the question and then I responded and added this pic but the words were missing.



Ok, so my answer is that I'm not very good at receiving compliments but it's something I'm working on and I know that I'm getting better at it. I'm taking them in and hearing them instead of just brushing them off which is what I'd do in the past. It gives me a really nice and warm feeling especially that I can take them in. My most recent compliment that I was given was from cariadwen who said "You are such a good woman, I'm glad to have you on my friends list."

The reason I posted this pic was to speak about the most recent compliment I gave someone. I went to a gallery opening last night for a woman who I have a great deal of respect for. I told her so and bought the painting above for myself. It's the 2nd original painting I own.

The giving and receiving of compliments is something I had to learn for myself. Receiving is harder to do, but well worth the effort. :)

Yes, I certainly agree!
