genuine

Even when I'm just going about my day, checking various forms of communications - Email, Twitter, Facebook - things, good things, can pop out at you. Restoring my positive outlook on my day even when sales are bleak.

Here is one example of what I am talking about.

I stumbled across this blog/website today called www.etsyitemoftheday.com This seemingly lovely woman (I say seemingly only because I don't actually know her) whom really enjoys things handmade, has taken it upon herself to promote an item/shop on www.Etsy.com each day that somehow catches her attention. I've also found her on Twitter. I read her blog and it seems that she just does this for fun. Imagine an individual who is genuinely interested in promoting things that are handmade without any financial benefit from it. I guess it's her hobby and what a feel good one it must be.

There are genuine people to be found in this world. How truly wonderful.
