If Friday was an episode of “This is your Life, Melissa.” Then Saturday and Sunday fully made up for it!
Saturday, I went to see “Monuments Men” with my parents. Great movie. I enjoyed it. Then my friend Keith and I went to a surprise birthday party for our friend who we do video editing work for. He’s the same guy I do the voice-over work for. It was fun and nice to surprise him.
While we were chatting, his father came up and said the sweetest thing to me. His dad would be in his mid 60’s I’d say. And he gave me the up and down look, and wanted to hug me, but my friend told him no, and to behave!
He then said, “Melissa, you are so lovely. You are a natural beauty. Just like my wife. She’s a natural beauty too, and we’ve been married for 40 plus years and she still takes my breath away.”
I was so flattered! I told him he was so sweet and that he made my day! Seriously though, how kind! He then told me that I should always smile, and that with my smile, I could have whatever I wanted! He then jabbed my friend Keith and said, “right?” Keith agreed.
ACK! I loved it!
But the nicest thing? When my friend introduced me to his father, he told him that I was one of the nicest, most kind, and good Christian person that he knows. THAT means more to me than anything else.
Sunday was a good day, I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to a small gathering of young people from Church. It was fun and I’ve made some new friends. I talked to them about work, and about my weight loss. They are all so kind and nice. I really like them.
All in all, a solid weekend.
Happy Monday friends!
