Yesterday at our writers’ night, a bit of an emergency developed. I want to thank everyone whose response no doubt made a big difference in the outcome. I won’t embarrass anyone by naming names, but I would like to sing your praises.
Two of our writers went above and beyond in caring for one of our writers’ group attendees yesterday evening. I was deeply impressed with their willingness to give up their time to look after another writer. I don’t feel like I should say too much about what happened for the sake of everyone’s privacy, but I cannot let the moment go unremarked altogether.
The kindness and thoughtfulness displayed yesterday will live with me for a long time to come. You are an example of the kind of world I want to live in. Thank you.
This conceptual gold star goes specifically to two of our writers’ group (you know who you are) but also to everyone who showed kindness and support through the events of the evening. I should also mention the staff at The Wheatsheaf, who are also deserving of praise. I hope Wheatsheaf management knows what wonderful staff they have – give them a raise if you can.
I am delighted that we have such big-hearted and level-headed members and supportive hosts. A big thank you to every person involved. The outlook is positive, and you are all stars.
