How do you REALLY feel?

When was the last time you told someone what you really think? I mean what you really, REALLY think.
 
This is a tricky question, in this society of surface smiles and actions it can be hard to know if someone is being completely honest with you. It can also be hard to be completely honest with someone else. If we all told everyone exactly what we think boy could our lives get messy! But sometimes, it is important to tell people what we really (really) think. How much you appreciate someone is one of those times. The common standby is “I love you” and this has varying meanings depending on the relationship and the individuals but does it really convey how you really feel?
 
How can you make someone fully understand how much you appreciate them? And if you are able to articulate it how would that effect the person? My guess is it would have a REALLY big impact. Not only would it remind them know their own worth (sometimes we can forget) but it would encourage them to continue to act in the unique way that makes them beautiful (the unique way you appreciate them).  So, how can you let someone know how you REALLY feel today?
 
As many of you are quitting there is likely a few people in your life who have to cope with the repercussions of your quit – you know… the anger, grumpiness, etc. We’re certainly not at our best when we are in quit mode! Don’t some of those people need to hear what you really think today? Make it happen and let us know about it. Sometimes taking the focus off yourself (and your quit) is the best medicine.
