Over the past week, my two year old granddaughter has been staying at our home. She is the definition of joy and I am so very grateful to have her in my life. However, I now understand why I had my kids young; what a whirlwind of endless, positive energy she is.
I am pleased to say that her mom and dad have done a
wonderful job teaching her to always say thank you – and I do mean always! Whether
I am giving her a sippy cup or offering to help her walk down the stairs, she
never fails to say, “Thank you, Grandma.” And when she doesn’t want to do something,
she just laughs and says, “No thank you, Grandma”. Okay, maybe she says that
part more times than I’d like, but heck, she’s only two!
This beautiful little child has shamed me, reminding me of
something so crucial in life – the need to say thank you to those who help you
along the way. It is humbling indeed to realize that I have not always done a
good job in this area. Writing can be a
solitary, lonely activity and I know I would never have continued trying, had
it not been for the support of many other writers, family members and friends.
Marianne Donley offered me a chance to blog for A Slice of Orange when I was just starting out. And when I faltered, she gave me a second chance. Thank you Marianne.
And to all of you out there who have given me or another writer a helping hand, thank you. You may never truly know how much your help meant to us, but take it from me, it did.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Thank you!
