taking a compliment

I find that taking a compliment is a really tough thing to do.  Today I had two friends post on my facebook status that they thought I was inspirational.  Rather than just say thanks and bask in their kindness I felt really weird about it.  I kept thinking, me inspirational?  Really?    I am not sure why it so tough for me to accept a compliment, I don't recall being overly rejected as a child, though I will admit, that parts of my childhood made me feel less than accepted.  But as an adult I guess you don't hear compliments like you did when you were a kid getting stickers saying WAY TO GO, YOU ROCK, YOU GO GIRL, or even better, YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION!

So after an hour of feeling really weird about the compliments I have let them soak in and I am smiling, thinking HELL YESS!  I DO ROCK!!!  :-) 

So thank you to Ashli, Joe, Cara and Dani for the Facebook stickers.  I really appreciate it.     I am happy to know that my posting about my crazy workouts motivates you to get moving too.  I want all of my friends to be happy and healthy.  In the end that is all that matters.
