First of all, happy new year! Thank you so much for your friendship and your supports for demure last year and I wish you great health for 2023!
Yesterday late afternoon a gentleman knocked on the door. When I invited him inside, he said ‘I just wanted to say that, I always get very warm feeling when I pass by this place. I always see you working alone and there is always something new and very beautiful in the window. I can tell that you are an artist with a warm heart’. The last sentence is definitely too much of a compliment but I knew this sort of compliment was something I really had to learn to accept with gratitude. I was actually as happy as when another customer/friend told me that there is a small piece of me in everything I make.
As many of you may know, my window is far from looking professional but I was so happy to know that someone had such nice feeling about the view. I was also truly grateful that he took the bother to let me know as this kind of spontaneous conversation purely based on goodwill takes place less often these days.
I was rather caught off guard as I really didn’t expect such a pleasant incidence. I however hope I managed to communicate my gratitude to him.
Now I know I’ll be stressing myself to do something new in the window every day, however small, knowing that there are a few who take notice of and enjoy seeing the results.
