I feel many compliments aren't sincerely meant and you can soon spot the ones which aren't because some people do it all the time even with people they barely know or haven't even met .
One of the nicest compliments I have had was while working in a nursing home as a night auxiliary night nurse . I popped my head around a patients door and asked him if he was ok. he replied 'I am now I have seen your face' .
Meg, I sometimes think even a look of gladness to see you, is a compliment. I do voluntry work with folks with dementia, they cannot always communicate, but, when I see their eyes light up - That is a heartfelt compliment in itself.

In the same nursing home (beautifully run and with magnificent views) we changed the bed yet again for a lovely lady with terrible symptoms who was going to die shortly and she apologised for 'making a mess'. I told her nonsense that is why we are here and sat to chat to her for a moment. Reaching out she took my hand and whispered 'I know there are angels now' I had difficulty holding back the tears
I bet you have a halo.

..and a good amount of energy I suppose.
It is sometimes a shining personality is what counts.
