There was a time when I considered daily posting on social media a complete waste of time and energy.
I'm not saying that I now think that it's always the best use of those resources, but I've received messages from individuals who've read my musings, thoughts, and ramblings (cos, let's be honest, sometimes they are) and let me know that they appreciate them.
I'm sure they don't mean ALL of them.
But I get the impression that a couple here and there stood out and meant something to them, perhaps speaking to their situation at the time.
And it's cool to also have heard that some of these posts have been making their rounds in Chat channels on Whatsapp.
I find this particularly amusing, because it sounds like I've somehow attained the status of a "Good Morning" message.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Anyway, thank you for letting me know that I'm not just talking to myself, happy as I often am to do so.
More importantly, thank you for assuring me that these thoughts and ideas have been useful to you in some way.
Thank You For Being Part of My 2017
As 2017 draws to a close, I would like to thank all the incredible people I've met this past year.
Whether it was at a Trainers' Synergy gathering, a SG100 meet-up, an APTS meeting, an Introverts' Network get-together, or the numerous workshops, conferences and events I attended or participated in this year, I was glad to meet you.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for being so generous with your time.
Some of you I met during mission trips, church events (especially our recently concluded stage production - Close Quarters) and church services.
Thank you for demonstrating the love and grace of our Lord, for doing what you do in God's service, and for being a part of the body of Christ.
I would like to specially thank you who were at my wedding, my speaking engagements, as well as my book launch.
Thank you for being there to show your support, love and care.
To you whom I have known for years, thank you for your friendship. We may not have been able to meet as often as we'd like, but know that you hold a place in my heart.
As we dive into 2018, I wish you clear direction, excellent opportunities and endless delights.
Thank you for being part of my 2017. I look forward to journeying with you in 2018.
