Lady with pink hair in sainsburys today.

[suzisoo]

Today while shopping in sainsburys ed pI was approached by a lovely woman who commented on how fantastic she thought I looked. I would just like to say thank you again for making my day, you weren't to know but although I have at the moment a lovely head of pink hair I am actually undergoing chemotherapy , and after some awful days when you feel like a wreck today's comment really cheered me up. So whoever you are THANK YOU.

Suzisoo, what a touching story and how lovely to get a boost from a stranger just when it sounds like you really need it. Best of luck with the rest of your treatment and wishing you back to health very soon.

Kind words from strangers can have a major positive impact. I still remember a moment in 1992 when I was struggling with my shopping in Sainsbury's with a new born in a sling and a fractious toddler in the trolley. I was exhausted, stressed and feeling pretty terrible. An elderly woman quietly commented to me "you are doing a terrific job, well done".

It made me feel so much better, and I now try and say positive things to parents in the same situation.

Lovely stories Suzisoo and Treehugger about simple lovely gestures from folk. Be well.

Thanks for this. I'm often reluctant to pay a compliment to someone whom I don't know. You embolden me.
