My dearest Anthony;
We sometimes talk on here about accepting complements without feeling adversely about it. Some find it difficult due to self worth or confidence issues.
I on the other hand, take tremendous pride in accepting words of praise that come my way. Knowing you (Anthony) have given freely of your gratitude and well wishes, can only serve to build my resolve and resilience up. This encouragement isn't taken lightly, because coming from you, a man I admire and respect, it's an incredible honour indeed.
We lead by example, so I look to you also as a mentor and role model. The past few days I've faced an important aspect of myself that was bought to my attention by your bravado; disclosing very painful events from your past. Not everyone is capable of this, so I applaud you as well as bow with respect and gratitude.
I thank you...language sometimes limits our expression of what we feel inside. It's a powerful, physical and emotional yearning inside, trying to 'give back' at the same level we've been helped. I feel this way.
I hear your praise, acknowledge it and accept it with pleasure.
...Sara xo
