Hi Everyone,
I do love receiving letters from readers!
The good, the bad, the entertaining and the hilarious are all welcome!
I especially love receiving letters in response to an Editor’s note I have written – I guess this is because it’s proof that I am doing my job well – something I wrote resonated with someone else.
And that is all I aspire to achieve – to connect – for connecting with the community is at the core of everything we do.
This week a gift from 86-year-old resident, Jo Kane, was waiting for me in my inbox on Monday morning.
Inside was her latest poetry submission; the style and flavour of all her poems always makes me smile.
At the end of the email, Jo responded to the question that I asked you all last week – what can we do more to provide a better service to you?
Her feedback: how about asking your readers to submit their favourite humorous or philosophical sayings?
As a lover and collector of quotes for many years, I loved this suggestion.
Sayings and quotes make you think, they open your mind up to new ideas, they change your perspective, they make you laugh.
Jo included a quote of her own, selected and inspired by her own life as a teacher.
It read: “Fifty years from now it won't matter what kind of house
you lived in, what sort of car you drove, or how much money you had in
the bank. What will matter is the difference you made in the life of a
child.”
I couldn’t agree more!
Do you have a favourite quote or philosophical sentiment you’d like to share? Please send it in and we’ll publish it for all the community to enjoy.
