i am thankful for words of thanks and encouragement
Below is an email I got from a student today. I had her in lecture last semester and today stood in for her lab professor because he was out of town. I didn't do anything unusual or special for her today and there is no advantage for her to sweeten me up. Her simple words of thanks were my highlight of the day. I'm thankful that my words encouraged her and so grateful for her words of encouragement to me!
Hello there Dr. Anderson!
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed having you in lab this morning. :) You did a great job of keeping me encouraged, because Chemistry is truly NOT the easiest thing for me. I just really appreciated it. Thank you!

...and yes, words of affirmation are my love language, both in the giving and receiving (quality time is pretty high up there too)
