What a Sweet Surprise!
Today, I received a nice little surprise in my inbox. It wasn’t a big thing, but the gesture was so kind and unsolicited. And after the garbage I’ve been putting up with, it really made my day.
I was trying to make a “spring-themed” avatar for a forum I hang out at (yes, I apparently have a lot of time on my hands) and so I drew a little flower in my hair with my mouse. Well, apparently the boys at the forum thought it was either a bullet hole (with blood gushing out of my head) or I’d been shot with a paintball gun. I admit, it wasn’t my best artwork.
Well, this morning, a kind forum member actually took the time to put a much better looking flower on my picture. I’d actually never spoken to this man before and, in fact, I don’t think we’ve actually directly interacted on the forum. So, how sweet of him to just go an fix up a picture and email it to me. I didn’t ask for it and he didn’t ask for anything in return.
Thank you Nana of TechnoBloggie.com…it was kind of you. I almost forgot that my stupid autoresponder isn’t working for a brief moment!

Hi Alice!
Great post! Just one thing though, as we all learned the hard way, after much embarassment at the TE forum, is that Nana is a guy!
I forget now what his nation of origin is, but he has said it’s a very common name where he is from, is pronounced much differently then we North American folk pronounce it, and that he is constantly mistaken for a woman online because of it!
The avatar looks great though, and Nana definitely is as nice a person as they come.
Take care!

Hey Mike..thanks for dropping by.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Look at my post…I said he’s a man.
Just kidding. I thank you so much for letting me know…I’ve fixed it and obviously, I’ll never forget!
Mike
LOL!
No worries.
Glad to be here, but what on earth are you doing up at this crazy hour? I’m here working on my sites. What’s your excuse?
Just kidding…in all seriousness, I appreciate everything that you give to all of us out here. Until very recently, I’ve flown below the radar while building up to making a living online, but I never could have reached this level without helpful people like you.
I wish you all the success and happiness in the world.

P.S. Is there something in the water there in Vancouver? It seems like an amazing number of successful internet marketers live in that city!
