#BIGRead14

I’ve just got my laptop back, and before I pack for #SH2014, and head to bed, these words echo:

Give me eyes to see beauty, dignity and
grace in the bravery of others.
Help me when I am tempted away from truth and service
by my lack of courage.

#Do1NiceThingWrite a letter to the boss of someone who has given excellent customer service to tell them so // Or, do what I’ve done sometimes, and send an email!
