On my way home from work I stopped at a grocery outlet store. It's one of those places that gets overstock or seconds and off brands, but real good prices. So as I was shopping and wondering if I should have left the FJR unattended in this neighborhood at night. On my way out of the store a homeless guy asked for some change, at least that's what I think he said. So I was glad to see my bike still parked where I left it. Just then an old woman in a beat up Dodge Caravan is trying to back into the spot next to the bike. After four trys she makes it and as she gets out she says to me, "Sure is a beauty" as she checks out the bike. I replied "Thank You" as I put my helmet on and rode away. " Bless her heart" I forgot all about my worries and smiled inside my helmet all the way home. :)

The power of the simple compliment never ceases to amaze me: whether its giving to or receiving from your kids, co-workers, or strangers. So simple; so powerful.
