Happy 7Eleven day everybody! Did you get your free Slurpees? I sure did. But I got much more than a frozen, artificially flavored treat. We all love receiving encouragement; whether it be from someone we know or not. I don't know about you, but I think words are most powerful when they are unexpected. Now you're probably wondering, "Ary? What do nice words and compliments have to do with Slurpees?", well, while I was at the 7Eleven I saw this little boy and his mom. You could tell that this boy had cancer by the way he looked and how his mom talked to him. But on the way out I saw the little boy and his mom by their car when a man came up to the little boy and said, "you can get through this, you're like a superhero! I'm a cancer survivor too and you're going to be just like me someday. You can fight this little buddy,". The smile on that boy's face could make flowers grow, I swear. It was obvious that those words were a huge comfort to the boy and his mom; especially coming from a stranger. It's so simple to make someone smile with words. You may not realize it, but your words can stick with someone for their entire life, whether they be bitter or sweet. So be like that man, encourage someone today, encourage someone every day! Make someone smile and help flowers grow!
If you're reading this: You look great today and you have great taste in blogs.
Over and out!
<3 Ary
