August Happiness Challenge - Day 28

Today there was a luncheon at a local restaurant to celebrate my husband's retirement.  A lot of people came, including four long-time friends.  I'm happy that so many people came to honor him and to say good bye.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I may not forget you.
