Even more to give
posted by John Davies at 5:47 PM
The thank-you card was a bit premature, but very welcome nonetheless. Bone-cold in February, numb to sensitivities about myself, it was a real wake-up to read how I'd helped and influenced someone over the past three years here. Trying to rouse my hibernating spirit to prepare for my imminent move, it was also energising to read these simple words: "I feel you have even more to give..."
February can be cold and cruel (three years ago this week I had pneumonia). It's the month of least incentive. I deeply dislike it - or having to do anything during it (ideally, I'd sleep right through it). But encouragement from an unexpected source means I may find the energy to get moving this coming week.
