“And now we welcome the new year,
full of things that have never been”
We never know the impact we have on another person. Yep, it’s a cliché, BUT I was reminded of its truth yesterday when I received an email from a former UCLA Extension student.
Because
of her work schedule, Vanessa missed almost half the classes and I presumed
that she took little, if anything, away from the course (Interpersonal
Communications). And so I was puzzled
when I found her email. Again, I just
presumed she was looking for a favor, perhaps a recommendation.
The
email contained just one sentence:
“Thinking of everything I learned in your class and feeling oh so very
grateful for the positive impact it's been in my life......HAPPY HAPPY NEW
YEAR!!!!!”
Beyond
surprised, I felt grateful––and happy that I actually reached a person whom I
had written off. Ah, life!
So
here it is a new year and like Vanessa, I think the best and happiest way to
make a new beginning is by giving thanks for all that we take into this new
beginning.
At the start of this new year, what are you
grateful for from 2012?
Have you thanked the people who gifted you
in 2012?
Believe
me, an unexpected “thank you” is a much-appreciated gift!
