My mom once said, most people don’t know how to accept a compliment graciously. If sincere, it doesn’t matter whether or not you agree with the compliment, or if you think it’s undeserved, or perhaps even insufficient, you should always accept the compliment with confidence and a smile, and thank the donor for their kindness.
I was a bit surprised to find that someone had given me a lifetime gift subscription to Daily Kos. I’d spent the last 24-hours trying to figure out the reason for their generosity, but in the end, have decided it’s an unproductive endeavor. Someone, for reasons of their own that I will no longer question, has decided they felt me worthy enough to impart a gift upon me, and I should accept this gift as I would accept any compliment.
Therefore, with a broad smile and uplifted spirits, I want to sincerely thank the anonymous individual who bestowed on me this lovely, albeit thoroughly unexpected, gift.
I am honored.
