{{{Group Hug}}}

It was unsolicited, a surprise and an affirmation of how generous of spirit some people can be. Check out what jesthepea wrote and Belinda too.

I'm constantly reminded through inspiring people such as Jes, Belinda and others (yes, I am referring to you too, Ms Choo), that it truly is a blessing to give. And I'm not talking about money/donations or compliments but all "gifts" from the heart, be it advice, kindness, a cheerful word on a stressful day, a smile of appreciation, a listening ear, patience ...

This warm, fuzzy feeling is ... NICE :-))

PS. I'd like to echo what Belinda said and thank friends near and far, known and yet to be discovered, which this hobby has brought. I'm grateful for your inspiration and support; you make me want to strive harder to be a better person and better at what I do as well.
