Just give people your pretty smile and say "Thank you!" You've earned the praise by trying to get yourself healthier. Bask in the glow of the compliments or, if you are like me, and the attention makes you uncomfortable, after the smile and thanks, change the subject over to them real quick by asking a question about how they are doing.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
