National Compliment Day

Today is National Compliment Day! This day encourages us to take a moment to recognize and appreciate the special people in our lives.

Did you know that the word “compliment” comes from the Latin root, “complēmentum,” which means to fill up? Compliments serve as an easy and sweet way to fill someone’s cup and put a smile on their face. Even a small, sincere acknowledgment of a job well done, an admirable trait, or a stylish outfit can go a long way in brightening someone’s day.

To celebrate Compliment Day, take some time to think of a loved one or colleague you’d like to surprise with a compliment. What makes them special? What do you admire most about them? When you’re ready, write a compliment inside a thoughtful digital greeting card and send it by text or email to spread a little joy today!
