A Big Thank You-- Heartfelt and True
I was just talking with someone who asked me --- how did you and your volunteers manage to do all this?
He was standing there, mouth agape, staring at the piles of paperwork and the lists of projects.
And I had one of those sit-down-and-stop moments, recalling all the days in all the seasons of the year and the years that have been devoted to doing this work --- and the envelopes coming in the mail and how as I have opened each one, my mind and heart have reached out to the people sending donations.
It's like filing the paperwork reclaiming each state of the Union.
You think of that state and the people living there, in little snippets of their history: New York and Rhode Island, Florida and Maine, Kentucky and Texas...... each one carries its little "picture" in your mind, of the land and the people living there.
