believe most of us can relate 1 visited an elderly neighbor to compliment him on his amazing years and vitality and said I would like to do a short story on his accomplishments He was quick to suggest that he hoped he wasnt going to sound like an obituary rather than a birthday celenrator In other words sentiment compliments tributes were in his mind for the gone and departed and I felt sorry Sorry for him that he had learned to feet that way sorry for my art In a world in which people only convey the great things know about others after they nave gone sorry that we the knowledge of accomplishments of associates to fa obituary rather than as a vocalized everyday occurrence 1 I looked into some of the obits I had read on people who hid been highlighters In our community revered highly esteemed colorful respected delightful and so on and I wondered if the people about whom such complimentary had been written over knew how deeply they had been regarded when they were living I concluded that obituaries were rather like sending Rowers after someone Is gone or after the But Its true Isnt It Most of us are either too shy to tell others how we feel about them or too inhibited to praise vocally Sometimes because it might be setting precedence or perhaps were intimidated In case someone might think were slightly mad Well If its the difference between making someones and spreading a little happiness toheckwlththesmall minded people who dare to Judge and query motivations as opposed to recognizing the Intents of those who care Too of ten the person who presents a gloomy exterior can with minimal vocal assistance blossom into a pleasant and Wiling individual but we allow ourselves to become back ward coming forward to give praises when deserved or to enthusiasms in areas where encouragement is the key requirement We see we think we feel but unfortunately we don t relate until it is too late Some well deserving marvellous person is gone so we send flowers and give him tnental acclaim and Bouquets but all in vain they arent around any longer to enjoy them But lets put aside our hangups Lets get on with the and giving praises whenever we can Tell your frkods if theyre wonderful and extend courtesies when theyre deserved No one requires continual commendation but for to be maintained and bona to grow they must be fed on the satisfaction that accomplishments are worthwhile enough to be encouraged now not later that sometimes one can be more creative without technical knowledge Helen Is now recognizing tending night school classes under
