Journal Entry #8

Monday Morning
9 a.m.

The art of the encouraging compliment. Now that's what I call an ambition, to fine tune the majesty of that form. Someone gave me a compliment last week that's stayed with me. And continues to work on encouraging me in new ways. The person said, "It really sucks what happened to you but you've really rallied." The rallying part is the encouraging part. It's a part of who I am. It feels good that it was recognized. Now I need to rally once again for the ceremonial end of the semester. The flood of papers needing to be written at once. I have to believe. I have to rally. And I need to pass on the inconspicuously delivered encouraging compliment that rebounds and rebounds.
