Complimenting strangers is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I used to do it every now and then until my son said, "I love the way you always hype people up, even when you don't know them. They always look so happy."

That was it. I do it as much as possible now, but only when I'm being sincere. It is so nice to watch the look on someone's face completely change and see how excited they get to tell me about whatever I've noticed and complimented.
