Compliments

5/2/12

Stingy in past

with others,

self,

often deflecting praise,

not feeling

worthy,

rarely verbalizing admiration,

or patting

back

for difficult accomplishments,

as if 

expected,

no big deal ...

now, I

celebrate

the tiniest goodness,

seeing miracles

everywhere,

letting love pour

out in

declarations

filled with adjectives,

bathing people,

places,

animals, plants, elements,

in generous

compliments.
