Lovely thing to say

Oh what a lovely thread this is.
I work all over the midlands in children’s homes and I have been told more than once that when I walk in I bring a “calm yet joyous” vibe in with me. I was very pleased with that. Mawb. My house is like a show house and I am not that welcoming with visitors neither except my family as I grew up in a very messy cluttered house with people who, sometimes, no one seemed to know, waltzed in and out as they pleased. My DSiS is the same as me?

Yesterday my 4 year old granddaughter said, 'I like you more than Mummy, Nana, cos you let me be messy.' She has the loveliest mum, but I let her mix flour and water and paint and oats and lentils and anything else in the cupboards in a big bowl and sometimes it gets on the kitchen floor.

The nicest thing anyone has said to me.....I was working in a home with dementia/alzheimer's clients.
One of the ladies I was working with told me (randomly) one day that I was a kind, beautiful, loving person and not to let anyone tell me otherwise. It was so touching that someone with such a horrible disease took the time to tell me that.
Sadly, next time I went into the home to work with her, she had passed away.

What a fantastic thread this is!

At an event with dancing, we were told by more than one person that they loved to watch us dance. Since neither my DH or I are fantastic dancers, I imagine the fun we have shines through. I remember being a teenager as a guest at a wedding and watching the older couples dancing and thinking "I want to be like them some day." Lucky me!

Also, years ago I worked as a bank teller (in my early 20's). After counting out his money, an elderly man complemented me on my lovely hands. That stayed with me.
