Good to hear from you, Wendy. It sounds like your concer was wonderful, and a beautiful setting.

Yeah, compliments are hard to come by. That's why I go out of my way to compliment folks... waitresses, check out clerks... people who work hard all day and rarely hear anything but criticism. It's like the reaction that you get when your weight changes. Put on five pounds and people say, "WOw, you've really gotten fat!!!!" Take off 25 pounds and one out of every ten people who commented on how fat you looked carrying an extra five pounds will say you look good with the weight off. (Some will say, you don't look as fat as you used to, but you take compliments when you can get them...)
