A Note of Appreciation

Aren't you always amazed when someone takes time out of their busy lives these days to write a note of thanks or appreciation? Our Writer's WORDshop group meet again yesterday and one of the participants shared this lovely note she received after we gave 250 of our poetry booklets to family and friends. It makes you feel good to have your efforts noticed and appreciated. This is the letter written by an elderly lady who lives in our area:

I received your book "Voices from the Desert." Your poems and stories plus the poems by the other Sunriver women are beautiful. Each page is filled with wonderous thoughts and experiences of these talented women. What excitement there must have been when the booklet was published. Each one of you must feel so happy to see your work in print. I'm sure the Good Lord is looking down and saying "Good work dear sister." Thank you. God bless!

When is the last time you received a lovely note like this or sent one?
