The Kindness of Strangers

I usually check the stats for my blog a couple of times a week. I looked this morning, and noticed that someone spent about 40 minutes on my blog at 4:00 AM.

Around noon today I got an ever so encouraging message from one of the Rose City Rollers who was my 4:00 AM reader. She took the time to compose an email that was full of advice and kind words. She offered to answer any questions or go for a skate with me. I actually teared up a little. It was such a generous and sweet gesture.

And today my trainer told me that I am her new story for people who are afraid to try something. I am honored.

I am so fortunate to have such good people in my life and new ones arriving. It puts a huge smile on my face.
