Just say "You're Welcome!"

She:  "Thank you for all you do."
Me:  "Oh, I don't do anything."

Another She:  "I like your hair."
Same Old Me (with scrunched up face):  "Today was hair washing day, and I didn't wash it."


Me:  "The massage you gave me took about ten pounds off of my shoulders. Thank you!"
Another She:  "That's great!"


I am tired of negating what people say.  I might as well be telling them that they are crazy and I don't believe them.  I want to learn from the Another She that just said, "That's great!"  I want to just celebrate or say "You're welcome!" when people compliment or thank me.

Here I am, wanting Dharma to immediately stop her chewing habit-of-a-lifetime, and I (so far) have not been able to stop my habit of being a poor compliment acceptor. 

Maybe I need to ask people to give me treats or at least pet my hair and tell me what a good girl I am when I gracefully accept their compliments.  I might learn faster that way...
