What she said is a BIG deal! Don't make light of it! "W, I really appreciate your comments, it's taken a lot of hard work to get to this point and it's good to hear you acknowledge it!"
I wasn't so much making light of it...more intimating that it's just normal behavior for me. All that stuff? THAT'S ME! And "ME" isn't going to stop because we're D'd. Why? Because that's ME! Not some hidden me with an agenda.
But you're probably right. I should have said I appreciated her noticing. Thanks for the advice and it has been stored in my memory bank.
I'm learning as I go.
