open letter

To amazing people,

To thank and acknowledge the gentle, honest strength that's been touching my days.

You are generous and guileless; offering your best simply because there is nothing else. Your motives are to bring about smiles and joy-to instill warmth and delight-to offer refuge, retreat, comfort and care. You spill genuine interest, honest compassion and deliberate attentiveness. Through your generosity you more often than not create more of this comfort, care and joy than you yourself experience! Whether a momentary communication or a long lasting connection, you put the best of yourself in every breath of your day. You've touched me and made a difference. Caused my eyes to open a little more, my heart to warm a few degrees and my spirit to lift a bit higher-To aim for your level of performance-To dole out generosity and grace as humbly and freely as its been given. Your blessings do not go unnoticed. You stand apart from the norm and spread your own gentle cacophony just by remaining true. You lead in quiet genuineness. Oh that each day I come just a baby step closer to your beautiful way of walking this life. in love. trish.

If you are left wondering to whom I am writing, it is you.
