Dear Optimists,
You might remember Carolynn the Dyer, the lovely lady who won our 100th post contest?
She won a hand-painted one-of-a-kind watercolour by me, Nadia. Not too long ago we received a Thank-You email from her, which reminded us why we do this (just like every single comment from you guys reminds us!):
Dear Nadia and Den,
I got the drawing in the mail today. What timing! You see, I’m in charge of a major activity at church tonight, and just this morning I realized that about half the things I thought were completed hadn’t even been started yet.
It’s been Stress Central Station over here ever since.
Anyway, I was running around like a squirrel on entirely too much caffeine, going to dash off to the store for (yet another) something I forgot, when I heard the mailman at the door–with a package. Package! Who doesn’t love that? Better yet, it had your picture in it, all smiling and lovely. It got me to stop, breathe, and just… smile.
Thank you, you lovely people!
Love,
Carolynn
It’s prettier in real life. We’re less orange-y.
Thank you, Carolynn.
Nadia & Den.
