emchik needs to remember that it is worth it

Good daughter  — 1 week ago

I flew home to see my mom this weekend. My dad is in Cambodia on business (for the third time this year!). I called her at the beginning of last week, and she just sounded really lonely. I got off the phone with her, hopped on the internet and booked a plane ticket, and then I called her back to tell her I was coming home at the end of the week. She told me that she was lucky God blessed her with such a good daughter. And when she dropped me off at the airport yesterday, she said that I had made her weekend so much better, just by being there with her. And that’s exactly why I did it.

No compliments today.  — 1 week ago

But then again, I didn’t have much social interaction today. I certainly don’t expect to receive compliments whilst weeding the garden or doing laundry : )

I'm very proud of this compliment  — 4 weeks ago

I wrote and presented a paper at a local conference last week. My slot was really early in the morning so my faculty sponsor for this conference (who is also my committee chair) told me that she wasn’t going to make it. This was fine with me, because my presentation slot was at 8:40 in the morning, and I was happy to email her a copy. But, when it was my turn to go—she walked into the room! I was incredibly flattered that she would drive all the way from Dallas to Arlington just to hear me give my paper. I read my paper and afterward Dr. F told me that I had done a really good job on my paper AND that it was worth trying to publish if I expand it. She even offered to help me get it ready for publication. A few days later she told me that she thought I should have won one of the prizes for presentation Yay! I’ve been living with pride from this compliment for the last week because it’s high praise from someone whose judgment, opinion, and literary knowledge I really really respect.

today, I’m going to compliment myself.

NaughtyChimp, you’re bright!
NaughtyChimp, you’re kind!
NaughtyChimp, you are frugal!

I've been getting lazy on this.  — 1 month ago

I’m sure that people have given me compliments during the past few weeks, but since I didn’t record them here, I didn’t internalize them and I cannot remember a single one.

Must re-focus, since I truly believe this goal helps me to reshape my opinion of myself.

good friend. That’s a really lovely compliment!

Boyfriend's mother told me  — 3 months ago

that I am very creative and have a great eye.

Do I feel like she’s just saying this ‘cuz she’s a lovely, sweet lady? Mais oui.

But, am I going to accept it as the truth? Je vais essayer; I’m certainly going to try!
