A compliment

I received a compliment out of the blue today, so I decided to institute something called a "compliment day." It's where you offer people that you know compliments, without expecting anything in return. The hope is that they will send compliments to others that they know (preferably not to the person who sent the compliment originally), and that it keeps on going that way. It would be even better if you send compliments to those that would least expect them from you.
The idea is to make people happy and make them smile, even for a little bit, and to spread that happiness around. It's a hokey idea, I admit, but I don't care. It's good karma. I suppose this morning I woke up just a bit less cynical than usual. I normally would not come up with such New Age-y ideas, but what can it hurt.
I guess the idea is kinda similar to the plot of the movie "Pay It Forward." I apologize for any similarity to that piece of shiite in advance.
