Compliment

Yesterday at work, one of the principals came up to me and told me with her hand on my shoulder: "during the meeting, we were discussing that you are the best person we hired in months!" My immediate thought to that was, so where's the money? But I didn't say that. I just said "Oh, that's really cool!" I guess it's a good compliment but I was a little annoyed. When I was little and when my mom told me that I was a good girl, I felt very proud. These days, when Pat tells me that I look sexy with my huge belly, I get so happy and feel like I should be like this forever. Even though I do like my work and take pride in what I do, what I know and what I learn, I realized that it's all very personal and compliments from others, especially when directed to me, becomes awkward. In a way, I feel violated that someone had judged me and had bothered to tell me about it.

There's nowhere you'd rather be than where you are right now, and no one you'd rather be with than the person sitting right there across from you. Cancel all your appointments.

That's here at home, and he's sitting in front of our little TV, engrossed in a movie. I stare at him across the room for a long time, and he doesn't even notice. This is where I want to be and there's no one I'd rather be with.
