We all understand the power and beauty of our words. We also understand the potential harm they can cause. Sometimes, even when you mean to say something positive, if all you focus on is a person's physical looks, it can seem like you don't truly understand/ appreciate/ love/ value the person. Making an effort to go beyond compliments of physical appearance can demonstrate your feelings to the other person. A thoughtful, sincere word could be the everyday gesture needed to improve the day and express your praise and appreciation of him/ her.
What are some you can add to make the people in your life feel great and know how much you care?
