Yesterday as the family is running frantically to get out of the house, get to work - go to school, etc...My wife was on the other side of the kitchen touching up my daughters hair. Totally catching me off guard, my 8 year old daughter catches my eye and she says, "Daddy, you really look nice today..." That little compliment from my little ray of sunshine was exactly what I needed yesterday. Last night after she was tucked into bed, I went into her room and thanked her for that. I told her that she made Daddy have a great day and that it made me feel good.

So, this morning she paid me another compliment. I smiled at her and gave her that appreciative wink. A few minutes later, I overheard her in the next room telling her mother that she made Daddy have a good day because she told Daddy he looked nice. To have my daughter tell me I look nice...hmm, that is definitely a feel good moment. Makes my decision to not be a "social eater" that much more worth it. My sweet, sweet little girl.
