Then I started thinking why did I blow of the compliment. The person who said it is a nice person and probably not very familiar with runway walks but they are also not one to make a comment with out truly meaning it. And although at the time I laughed and said thank you I dismissed the compliment completely.

When my friend saw me walk from the house to the car my head was high, my gait was strong and I was smiling. I was feeling like a model only I wasn't hungry.
I am not sure why I am telling you all this other than to say next time you get a compliment accept it. Let it wash over, seep into your skin and drip into your psyche become the compliment.
What is a compliment you you received but didn't "accept"?
