It feels so good to be appreciated



Some scammer pirated my AOL e-mail list and what is worse the whole list was gone. AOL agreed that the list was gone. What has happened, happened, so I have to move on with life. But what was a bad thing turned out to be a very nice thing for me

Sunday morning an old friend from Nashville call just to make sure I was OK. In his heart he knew the E-mail was a scam, but decided to have some fun with me. Because I know him I knew right off the bat what he was up to, but I played along to humor him.

Once we got the fun over with we got into what was really going on. My college is playing football against his college this fall and the game is in Nashville. Micki and I going to attend and Tom, my friend, said he has tickets and that we can stay with them. Wasn’t that a great call.

The appreciation I felt for all thoughts that called and there were many. Everyone knew it was a scam, but for some reason wanted to make sure. Many called and even more sent E-mails. Then there was the group who contacted my close friends to make sure everything was OK.

You don’t have to have something like this happen to you to get the emotional lift I got from all of those that cared, so why don’t you take another tack and send your friend a note thanking them for their friendship. You will be surprised the calls, notes and E-mail you get. People like to be appreciated.

All I can say to everyone is thank you and it is my hope that I can even do more for all of you.

Happiness with wealth to you
