Day 309 ~ It’s the Thought that Counts

November 5, 2014

My Instead: I presented a photo from by boutique show as a gift to one of my clients.


I was off to my client’s house in Millstadt, remembering back in early spring when I took a different route to their place. My camera and I started out on that beautiful sunny morning waiting for Mother Nature to strike a pose. And she did. I got several great shots of her beginning to don her spring wardrobe.
My clients are sweet people with more than their share of health issues, but they have a healthy spirit that greets me on each visit and fills me up. Who could be more deserving of an altruistic gift from me! I chose one of my boutique photos taken on that early spring morning. It was a picture of a sunny country road with a meadow peeking through the trees.
As usual, I walked in as I was greeted by the lady of the house. Before I started to get the tools of my trade ready, I handed the photo to my friend and explained its history. She was so touched that I thought of her and her husband. She placed it on her cabinet still admiring it. Later, her husband came to me to thank me as well for the nice photo and how nice it was for me to give it to them.
It was so rewarding to see their gratitude. The funny thing was I believe they were more thankful that I thought of them than of the actual photo gift. I guess it’s true…it’s the thought that counts.
