Anxiously awaiting long term Patience!!

[JWS]

So today started pretty down, but ended well. As I was leaving work I got some pretty huge professional compliments on my performance. I am one who can take criticism and praise well, I usually just note what the person is saying and try to take it in with little reaction. This time however the praise was way more then i thought necessary and I felt a little embarrassed. I guess I would much rather have that then none at all. It really lifted my sprits and put me in a good mood. I will still go for the cookie dough ice cream just for the fun of it. I have always been good at my job but since she left my concentration and dedication to the job has skyrocketed and it has paid off well for me.
