I have received a number of very pleasant compliments recently. My PT complimented my execution of my oblique exercises (OK, that doesn't really count as a compliment so much as a commendation). K and M both separately complimented me on my kid-skills (I experience very strong ambivalence when told I'm good with kids. It makes me heartbroken to not have any of my own). J complimented me on my spinach salad (thanks Mom!). That was my favourite because she said "Jasia. You turned out to be a genius." I like how she talks.
