Each Day Is A Surprise And Delight

Dear Friends,
Each day when I go to work on Medium, I am surprised and delighted. I am greeted by your stories that beckon me to read and enjoy them.
It is delightful to get to connect with you all through words and voices.
I feel it is an honor to write by your side. I never feel alone here, and I feel guided, nurtured, and supported by each of you.
Thank you for reading, clapping, commenting, leaving private notes, and emailing. It means the world to me.
The other day I looked at my stories, and I had written over 400 of them. That is 400 chances to touch someone’s heart. It is paramount that I reach out to all of you with appreciation in my soul.
Your hope, positivity, and encouragement are the reasons I show up here every day. Most days, it is to write, but some days I take pure joy in just reading.
You are the reason I am here.
Thank you for being my guiding light for 400+ stories and beyond,
Trista
