Yesterday someone wrote and told me a little story of a recent experience of theirs that my writing may have-- in a general way-- played a small part in. You don't even know how happy this sort of thing makes me. Even if I'm vastly overestimating the part my writing played in what happened, it is a great feeling.
I've gotten similar notes from people several times over the years and it never gets old.
If anything I write gives you ideas for standing up for liberty, I'm more successful than I ever dreamed I could be-- whether I'm financially successful or not. Honestly, if I had to choose between monetary success and inspiring others, I'd choose inspiring others nearly every time. (Only having second thoughts about this choice when I'm in a bad financial situation.) Which is why I am where I am.
I get the same kind of rush when people write to gush over my Time's Up flag design-- or even buy one or more. It's a validation that I never really expected.
But I am grateful and I thank all of you.
I'll keep on keeping on as long as I feel I am contributing something. Hopefully, it's not an empty feeling.
I just took down the "Time's Up!" flag and put up my POW/MIA flag until after Memorial Day. It goes back up on Tuesday the 1st.
