I'm sitting here nodding my head and saying "yes, she's growing by leaps and bounds". I'm glad your supervisor likes the person that you are and he recognizes that your attitude is a refreshing change for him and the office.
Keep up the good work. You are going to love the person that you are evolving into more and more each day.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
