87 Words of Encouragement

The other day some co-workers and I went to Das Dutch Kitchen in Dalton for lunch. The placemats there were fun to read, so I brought one home and thought you might enjoy it. It's titled "87 Words of Encouragement" and lists words or phrases you can say to people to make them feel better about something they did or about themselves, as a tribute to April being Child Abuse Prevention Month. We had a good time with it. Something that was also recommended was putting the phrase ".. in bed" onto the end of any of these to make them even funnier! Try it.
