Some people amaze me with their kindness

I am not sure if you all remember, but when i left my old job as the education coordinator at the Turning Point, I volunteered to do the 20 hour training session for the new committee that will be doing presentations for this year. The new education coordinator just didnt know all the info. yet, so i thought it would be best if she sat in on the training and then the new committee would be off on the right foot for this year. My thought process was basically, what is 20 more hours of volunteer time for a cause i think is of utmost importance. So, I lost a few hours of work at my current job because i was at the Turning Point doing the training. Anyway, last night when i checked my mail, i found a thank you card from the committee i trained and a $50 gift certificate to Magianno's (excellent italian food). it just amazes me how some people can be so kind and thoughtful. I did the training with no expectations, i just wanted to make sure they new all the info. before they started talking to the students. But, they were kind enough to send such a nice thank you note and gift. you all know me and my sappy self, I think if Michael wasnt around when i opened the card and gift, i probably would have started crying. :) It is nice to feel appreciated sometimes.
