Being appreciated is huge to people, it matters a great deal. I never used to hesitate in expressing my appreciation to everyone who was kind to me, but it's only in recent years that I've had real appreciation for who I am expressed to me. It makes me feel better about myself, of course, which makes me behave better, and the great circle of reinforcement begins.
Man, my poor ex-T must've dreaded seeing me walk in. Ouchie ouch ouch. Huge sigh of relief when she's gone. (Sigh)
