Someone sent me an anonymous feedback the other day....it was really nice.
I was told that this person really likes my writing and I am one of his or her favourite authors.
I don't know how to feel about that since I really don't think I am that great of a writer. But The comment stuck in my mind and I am really still shocked by it.
I dont' think I will ever know who it was, hence the anonymous, but I would love to tell that person how fabulous I feel now.
Maybe I shouldn't put so much weight in that comment, but I really needed it. When it came, I was at a crossroad in my mind and I wasn't sure about "things" in my life.
It sounds silly, but that comment made my put myself in perspective. I do put many things on the board, and there are many that I don't, but I will share this with you all........if it wasnt' for my son, I would have left this plane........it was a rough year for me last year and this one isn't that great, either. But, as I sat and thought about my son and all the things I do to make his life better......this mail came up.
I was serious doubting myself as a person when I thought about how moved this person was just by a story......and I thought about how I really do matter. It wasnt' the story aspect, believe me, I am more realistic than that, but it was the idea.....The idea that I could make someone feel good with my words.
So, I thought harder about my life and about my son. Where I want to go in the future and where I see my family. You know what? I am glad I am still here.
There is a good lesson here. You don't always know a person. Sometimes what you say can be the last string. Think hard about who you are speaking to.
As I said. I am really glad I am here for my son. Truly.
