Curling my hair .... just say Thank You.

This morning I was curling my hair with a curling iron. WOW! Sounds exciting, huh? But anytime I do this I inevitably get responses from those I see everyday like ... "I like your hair today?" "Did you curl it?" "You have nice hair, I wish I could do that to mine." Or like Emma said when she saw me, "Mommy, you look pretty!"

Normally I respond with some sarcastic remark like ... "I'm so sick of my hair, I had to do something." or "Really? You like it? I thought it looked kinda of poofy." Instead .... I need to just say "Thanks. I did spend a little time on it today and I'm glad you noticed."

You see by me not accepting their compliment, I'm really saying their opinion is dumb. Which of course, isn't true, but don't we all do that? Especially women. "I love your shirt." "Got it at Target, $9.99." ... why can't we just say Thank You?

Anyway ... just one of those thoughts I had today and wanted to express. So today, I just say Thank You!
