does good mean BIG? or what?

I feel like a dramatic teenager whenever I say i'm not doing well or had a miserable day....but honestly, I had a miserable day. miserable. i'm blowing off my test for class and going to bed because i'm sick of this day.

The bright spot:
I brought my shirt up to the counter at Pac Sun. The lady walked over, didn't say a word to me, scanned my shirt, punched some buttons on the register and told me my total. That's all she said me the whole time, just the total. I gave her cash, she gave me change. I thanked her.
Then she said, "By the way, that shirt makes your biceps looks good" I had no idea what she was talking about and said, "what? this shirt that i'm wearing??" she said, "Yeah, it looks really good with the stripe there, makes your biceps look good!" I was awkward and said something like "Oh wow! thank you! i really appreciate that!" blah. i don't handle compliments well. but honestly, that made my day.

  1. I'm glad you had at least a little something to brighten a crummy day. By this time though... it's tomorrow. And I hope Monday treats you better.

  2. Its neat how much a random compliment can change a person's day. Amazing.

    I'm so glad that happened to you today. And you know what--we all have crappy days. Thats life. I'd rather anyone tell people straight up that it's been a bad day than just show a pretty face. And, knowing you, i know you'd prefer honesty. Don't ever feel bad about having a bad day. I think that's the healthiest thing...because then others can come around you and help rather than taking all those feelings on your own...you know?

    I'm praying for you.
