Sometimes it's an uphill struggle to continue trying to be humane and caring as well as conscientious in a society/ workplace culture/ education system that values only what can be measured quantitatively. And then something like that puts it all back into perspective. <br /><br />So Isabelle is not the name that people know you by in offline life, then? :-)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-42307665111781621942009-06-30T09:30:01.805+01:002009-06-30T09:30:01.805+01:00I'm sure that it's little things like this...I'm sure that it's little things like this which make it all worth while for so many people - and a reminder to us all to take the time to say thank you when we appreciate what someone has done for us - only takes a minute but can last a lifetime!

He sent a card of thanks, and I still treasure that.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-21556843393260721262009-06-29T23:21:42.984+01:002009-06-29T23:21:42.984+01:00It is good to be appreciated, and I am sure you de...It is good to be appreciated, and I am sure you deserve it.

Good for you.<br /><br />I'm not watching tennis at all - too reminiscent of compulsory sports at school, and I have no capacity to deal with suspense of any kind, so it would be a weird mixture of boredom and intense stress. Best avoided.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-54410088621593097452009-06-29T22:41:46.943+01:002009-06-29T22:41:46.943+01:00How nice!
