kind words

So I was talking to a lady today at one of the schools I sub in a lot and she was asking me if applied for the position at that school. 
I told her yes and then she asked, "where else are you applying?" 
I said, "I'm not applying anywhere else."
"Why in the world not?" she asked
"If I don't get the job at this school than we are going to go on to the next step which is trying to have a family."
I expected her to say, oh my dear, you have to apply other places, you can do both, work and be a mom...etc
Insead she broke out into this huge sweet smile and said, "thats Great!, I'm so excited for you!"  (at this point I could have kissed her I was so grateful for some positive feedback to our plan)

Wow, the wonders that some kind words can do, when all I've heard lately are not such kind words.
