Quote: I hope you will accept my gratitude for your post and recognition of my improvement and my most sincere apology for invalidating your compliment.
Actually, my friend, not to invalidate your apology BUT... you thanked me very nicely for my compliment and then, while you DID offer up a less-than-positive observation -- it was VERY thoughtful, not-at-all invalidating -- you said how you FELT -- not like it was gospel truth -- but as feelings.
THAT, in my mind, is another giant step for Pam!

Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
