Mayo--100 Words

Mayo.

You know that white stuff you spread on a sandwich.

Yeah. That stuff.

Not Miracle Whip! Read the label. That’s salad dressing! I have to remind my wife and mother-in-law that all the time.

I love mayo! Maybe more than I should.

You see, mayo is the perfect condiment for just about anything. And, when you grow up in the South as I did, you use it on just about anything. Don’t get me started. It’d only gross you out to know all the things I’ve eaten mayo on.

But oh, what I wouldn’t do for some right now!

Compliments--100 Words

Compliments.

Don’t mistake that word for condiments—you know, as in ketchup, mustard, or mayo.

Condiments are spread over hamburgers and sandwiches.

Compliments are words said in appreciation for something done, spoken, or written.

There are many times that I actually like condiments far better than compliments.

Not sure why that’s the case. But, too often, I really struggle accepting kind words. Do I doubt what is said? Do I doubt their sincerity? Do I feel unworthy?

More than likely, it’s a little of all three things. I’m working at being more gracious when complimented. Just don’t expect overnight changes.
