We Kiwis don't like to toot our own horns much but I wanted to keep this for future memories. For years I worked on behalf of the local community and wrote a monthly newsletter. I stopped doing all that recently. Then Tim emailed:
It is a precious email, a taonga to me. (A treasure)
@Miraz Lovely gesture from Tim. Although people like us work without expecting appreciation, it still is nice to hear from people who do appreciate the work.
@Miraz …and if you Kiwis are only half as stingy as us Norwegians when it comes to passing nice comments to others, I’m sure you deserve it tenfold.
Keep it and (now I am looking hard at myself to remember to) pass it on!
