You really have a way with words, don't you? [She's joking, for the most part.] But I get it. You're really concerned that I'll push myself too far, aren't you?

[She smiles to herself.]

Thank you, Jean. I mean it, for everything you've said. You're a good friend. Maybe I'm too nice, and too stubborn too. But you're right--I wouldn't get anywhere if I weren't a little stubborn. I'll try not to push myself too hard from now on.
