Well, it is the random compliments that stand out - I was not feeling particularly bad or good about myself and one fine day I was taking a pair of my daughter's high-heeled boots to the shoe repair shop and the new, gorgeous Pierce Brosnan look-alike guy at the counter took the boots, glanced at my wedding ring and said, "oh no, you are married and I was going to ask you out for a coffee......." I smiled, said thank you and skipped off and trust me, this little scenario is one I cherish and replay in my head anytime I need to, becuase it was not from family or friends and hubby who love me and think I'm beautiful always "no matter what". I cherish those loves, don't get me wrong, but it's nice to know that at least to one hottie shoe repair guy, I still got it...............
I don't think there's anything unusual in enjoying a little boost to the ego when it is harmless. Now, if I spend a fortune getting ALL my shoes and my family's shoes reheeled just so I can get sexy compliments from the shoe repair guy and then actually have coffee with him every time, then that could be a definite problem of my needing my self-confidence propped up too much....................
