Yesterday was a long work day. By the time I finished writing and backing up x 6....I packed up my computer at 7 P.M. A lovely couple was sitting at the end of the bar and started talking with me. She began to tell me about having lost three family members in a year.
Unfortunately, I could identify explaining that I missed sharing manuscripts with my greatest critic/greatest fan; my mother. I expressed that it is difficult to constantly motivate yourself based on your own opinion.
We said our good-byes and I thought that was the end of the conversation. It wasn't. I was deep in thought and deep in typing when I felt the arms of a stranger wrap around me and say, "you're doing a great job...keep moving forward....you can do it. I believe in you."
I turned around to find the sweet lady from the earlier conversation. She smiled at me with such kindness, my eyes began to tear.
I hope I get another chance to thank her, but I told her I would pay it forward. It was such a lovely gift.
