I've now had two occasions in recent months where someone has referred to me, or something I've said or done, as inspirational. Which is a new thing for me, I've never heard anything like that before, and it's not like it was anything I was even trying to be. I don't aspire to inspire, I'm doing the things I'm doing, saying the things I'm saying, being the person I'm being to help myself and become a better person. But I'm glad someone else is taking something away from it, it definitely resolves me to keep sharing my observations and thoughts, and keep embracing the process I've undertaken.
So thank you, both of you (I know one of you reads this, the other I'm not so sure any more). I felt kinda like The Grinch listening to all the Whos down in Whoville both times, like my heart grew a few sizes. It's something special that I'll carry with me always, a bit of my soul forever occupied by the both of you.
I'm learning some important lessons about the value of opening one's self up here. :-)
