compliments from a stranger are very flattering, i think! and it certainly makes your day. imagine just waiting for food, and someone comes by and say something really nice. a wide smile that stretches from a ear to the next will be plastered on your face for the rest of the day! that silly grin stays even when you're facing the screen and writing a blog entry, hee.
have you said or done anything to make another's day today? let's all contribute to making this world a better place. i sound like a saint, ahaha!
