September 23, 2006–IPOD OF LOVE

September 23, 2006

Close friends (and most people who’ve heard me speak) know it takes a lot to make me speechless. Well, some of you –who I don’t even know — got me good.

I got a small package in the mail containing a brand new iPod Nano! It seems that a friend (Amanda) heard about my MP 3 player being stolen and organized some friends who chipped in and BOUGHT ME A NEW ONE! The card, and of course, the gesture, blew me away.

You are too good to me. “Thank you” doesn’t seem to carry the depth of what I feel. Your kindness and generosity (in anonymity) “rocks.” You’ve given me a great gift but also a reminder of how important it is to offer “random acts of kindness.” Especially without being found out.

Thanks.
