Perceptions

The other day my son and I were having a meager meal of little smokies with bbq sauce and rice. Brandon looks at me and says "Mom, you should go on a cooking show."

In my mind I am thinking great now even my son is a critic of my cooking skills. So I say, "You think so?"

He replies "Yeah, this stuff is great, I am sure you could win the challenge!" I was amazed. He was giving me a compliment and I didn't even realize it. It also reminds me that we all have our own perceptions of what people say to us. We should clarify before we get angry or hurt. What we take as an insult may actually be a compliment.

Have a great Day!!!!
