A lot of people may not, but I notice things. I'll be bumping into random people, and something often catches my eye to where I'll say:
"Your hair's different!"
"Hey, I like that shirt."
"Nice shoes!"
People like that! But that's not why I do it. I don't do it because they like it. I do it because I just can't help myself. I can't help but notice, and then I can't help but point it out. It's part of who I am, and the way I express myself. People are kind of delightful, you know? Sure they are. And I like to point out the ways! If that gives everybody's day a little boost, well, who could complain?
It's not limited to people I know, either. Oftentimes I'll notice things about a complete stranger, and I'm not shy about pointing them out with a BIG smile:
"Nice shaaaaades."
"Look how tall you are! Good job."
"Were you born with that?"
I think if more people were more like me, noticing, appreciating, I bet the world would be a lot more pleasant or, you know, interesting at least. And I'd be the first one to notice!
