[Nfb-krafters-korner] just a short note

[River Woman]

I so agree with you, Jill.
I am not sure, but I think I have been on the list for at least 3 or 4 
years. I have taught classes here, participated in classes, and enjoy 
reading the notes that go back and forth on things I am interested in.
It has been very uplifting and encouraging to SEE so many blind people 
learning to do things - without complaints, but with enthusiasm.

It has also been so interesting to me to watch the ebb and flow of ideas 
here.  Things seem to run in cycles. The topics now are so very different 
than they were a couple years ago; the people change and so does the 
interests. I think that is a healthy sign - it is not stagnent but a growing 
group of people and interests.

Of course, behind all of this is the enthusiasm and joy of sharing that the 
members have, but the real star here is Joyce. Thank you Joyce for making 
everyone comfortable and not afraid to make mistakes. Unlike another list I 
have been on, this one is very positive and encouraging, with people 
treating each other with respect and kindness.
