Well, leaving it that way seemed to sort of reinforce the things that were frustrating you so much in this post, which would at least partially invalidate the sentiment. Once I noticed the way I'd said it, it needed fixing. (If I were a less shy person, though, here's where I'd strike a silly dramatic pose and say that adoration is always welcome.)

I'm glad I go dancing at all. Any regrets I have tend to be the people or things I've allowed to slip out of my life. Dancing was one of them, and you've helped me get it back. You're probably going to hear about a million times more how much I appreciate that.

Yay! Hugs and cocoa! Two wonderful things.
