I was reminded of 3 lessons this week, which I’d like to share with you.
- Never take good health for granted.
- Never think you know someone, just because you read their work.
- The Internet truly is making the world smaller.
The week started well. A long running throat problem I have been struggling with, has finally started to mend. It seems that the mixture of being surrounded by farmland and our area being hit by some very weird weather, resulted in me suffering from an allergy, which made my throat dry and inflamed. Just 1 day after taking hay fever tablets, the problem was recovering and has now almost fully recovered.
The middle part of the week started disappointing. The great author Ray Bradbury passed away. On the day of Mr Bradbury’s death, Seth Godin published a tribute, but inserted a sales message into it. It’s here.
There was a small uproar, quelled by a quick, successful damage limitation post, apologising. Sleazy, Seth.
The week ended on a real high! On Friday, I was contacted by a childhood friend. The last time we met, we were just 13 years old. He was the kid next door, but his family moved from London, back to Jamaica. He found me via this blog and saw my photo – leading him to ask where my hair was! ;) Anyhow, we spoke on the phone for over an hour and I freely admit, I welled up with tears, when his daughter and son spoke to me. They are the age now, that their father and I were when we last met. It was a truly wonderful experience.
So, I started my day today, grateful for good health, laughter and good friends.
