I had never really thought about this. Mostly because I was so busy dodging life's spitballs!
I haven't heard much from the folks I call my friends. But the people who know just the surface part of me seem to be impressed beyond anything I ever thought. I had a man, a salesman, who has tried to help me get the furniture I have needed for my apartment tell me that on days when he feels like he's had enough, he thinks of me and all I have gone through and he keeps going. I have also had a teacher in one of my classes on the very last night of the term stand up and give a small speech about me and how I impressed her just from the way I kept going. The students in that class got together and gave me a card and some cash and one even made me a blankie. To say I was speechless is mild. I was stunned. And very much humbled. Those people have not known me for the length of time my friends have, yet somehow they saw my struggle and made me feel appreciated.
The person who said you never know who is watching, is right. You never know just who might see you and the attitude you have in dealing with things and take that to their hearts.
