Dear Bunki, Susan, Sharon, Woody, Sky, Annonymouse, Judy and ALL who are truly
the selfless givers on this list,
As I read Bunki's e-mail, I thought to myself, she is so right. Look at the
hours of planning, research, instruction, and experimenting that these
dedicated professionals do, and with a click of a mouse, it's yours. Just take
a look at any one of their web pages! Some of these folks not only share their
professional lives with you in the form of ideas, lesson plans, resources,
experience, etc., but they share their beliefs, feelings,inspirations...their
families. They are the magnetic personalities who create the bond we all feel
to this list.
Most of us overwhelmed art teachers always seem to have something more pressing
or important that we have to do. In the backs of our minds we are saying, "Oh,
I have to write and tell.... Oh, they know I am the sensitive type and I'm
really busy...they'll understand." If your road of good intentions is as long
as mine, you know exactly what I mean. We don't hesitate to immediately thank
the person that holds the door for us when we enter a building. How hard is it
to take a minute and say thank you to someone that has made your day, week,
month easier?
It's almost 1:00 am where I live. I was just going to hop on the list for a few
minutes. I decided that I am taking this time to say a THANK YOU to all the
generous people on this list who have helped me in some way. I could not have
survived last year without your advice, guidance and generosity. So many of you
take us under your wings! You are a rare gift. I thank God for guiding me to
you.
