Fit Chick in the City: It really is a surprise when someone goes out of their way. Too bad it doesn't happen more often. Ameena: Um, that's probably because she <em>is</em> cute. Adorable! Eatmovelove: Getting an unexpected compliment at work can really make my day, too. Hearing "good job" makes me feel like, yes, someone is noticing my hard work. It's so underrated in the workplace. Jasmine: You're so right. When someone close to me tells me I'm coming along in terms of my knee recovery I think "hm, they're just saying that." But if a stranger does it, it makes my week!

I always try to say nice things to strangers. It's weird how you can hear things from people you know and they roll right off your back. But, someone new says it, you walk around all proud. I agree with her. YOU GO GIRL! :D Lol. I always try to say nice things to strangers. It’s weird how you can hear things from people you know and they roll right off your back.

It feels so good - and unexpected - when someone gives you a compliment or something - without having too! I blogged about someone who I work with occasionally on one of my units who emailed me unexpectedly about the great job I was doing a few weeks ago...especially since I don't like my job and am trying to find peace and what I want out of life....at least noone else notices it! My friends say alot that I'm the girl that gives those out as well - without even realizing it! - like getting cards for co-workers B-days, or bringing in cookies...I often tell people too if I like their hair or clothes or something...I'm not trying to "suck up" or anything - and don't do it all the time!!! - haha - but sometimes it just slips - cause it's true!!!..and I may or may not want to track down their hairstylist or that clothing store...oops!! ;) I totally know what you mean!

Sometimes I run down by the river, and when I run by people that are a little heavier and look like they're struggling a bit I often yell something like "good job, you got it". It's great to support people and bring a smile to their face. I know that when I get shout at while I'm running it motivates me to keep on going! I love to encourage people exercising.

Doing that puts added pressure on the knee joint. So does allowing your knee to go over your toe line. Plus, having the ball behind you absorbs some of the pressure that would normally be on the knees. Aside from the resistance band aspect, the one-legged ball squat is PT approved for people with (or without) knee injuries.

And that doesn't put pressure on your knee? In terms of kind strangers, I do remember the first time I joined a trail running event, I was having a walking break (but of course - it was a hill!) and many of the guys who passed me had a kind or encouraging word to say. Any single gals reading this who would like to meet a nice man, you might give that sport a try :) Youch, sounds hard. And that doesn’t put pressure on your knee?
