    Lovely Compliment

    I've known a lady from down in Flagstaff for many years, she provided residential treatment for some of my clients. She's now moved on to working as an auditor of sorts for a parent agency. Today, she visited our agency to audit some client charts.

    She's seen me kilted before in Flagstaff, but when she saw me today in Page she just exclaimed, "Do you always wear kilts!?" I told her I did.

    Then she says, "You're my hero! You're living the dream!"

    And she's right.

    I'm floored That has to be the most positive, straight-from-the-heart comment I have ever heard. With a woman like that a man could conquer the world.
