So, I had a situation yesterday where a friend e-mailed me and paid me a compliment in a "casual, offhand" sort of way.  Basically, she remarked that she aspires to have a more "compassionate" personality like mine (seriously, I'm blushing now as I type this!).  Well, reading her words made me cry from happiness; I was sitting there with tears streaming down my face for about ten minutes.  While crying, I typed a reply e-mail to the effect that I was in tears from her beautiful compliment, and thanking her.  She has yet to respond, but that was a truly lovely moment for me.
