A Complement Jar

How to best start your day? My advice is to begin collecting those complements you receive daily in a jar. If you're a computer person, make it 'virtual' but if not, get yourself a nice shiny jar or glass vase and bright paper cards for those wonderful things people say about you. Maybe you should carry a pad with you to jot down the daily complements received? And each evening write these lovely thoughts on bright colored paper and toss them in the complement jar in your bedroom. How better to start your morning then a reading of just how wonderful you really are? It's a way to always wake up on the right side of the bed. If it's virtual, you can dig into the jar like cookies and enjoy a pick-up of spirits as needed sans the calories.

But your flaws and faults, you ask? Where to keep them? Why that's the reason you need the printed version of your wonderful qualities. We always seem to harbor the criticisms close, usually in the upper abdomen. It's time to dwell on the positive.
