The most unusual compliment I ever received came from my ophthalmologist, a Dr. Yorkgitis by name. During an eye exam a few years ago, he murmured, "You have the warmest eyes."
At this his medical assistant commented, "Well, of course, they're brown."
"No, it's not the color. I'm not sure how to explain it, but when I look deep down into either of her eyes, I see warmth."
My hope is that people see and respond to that warmth whether it be while saying hello to a stranger on the street or in conversation with a close friend. It feels like a special gift.
