Stocking up on compliments

On Sunday morning in Newport Coast I pulled the sheets off my bed and threw them in the wash. When Gail got up, she said "You didn't have to do that." I replied, "Well, you remember that I used to run a bed and breakfast in D.C. I'm accustomed to turning a room."

Gail responded, "No, I didn't know that. You're an onion. Peel off one layer and there's another."

I thought that was a lovely compliment, and then started thinking of associated adjectives.

I think of "complex" as a negative adjective. I prefer to think of myself as multi-faceted.
