Words of Encouragement

Hi Max,
It is nice to hear when people can acknowledge these thoughts.  This idea of Roberto is something that really puts a smile each morning.  When he was going on vacation, he asked me to continue.  I have since then had a few people sending me words which are reassuring.  One or two however, asked me why do I bother sending something which they delete anyway!!!
However, this is something which we hope would not stop.  Unfortunately I am going on leave from tomorrow and there is nobody to take over this job. Roberto will continue when he comes back. Hope all is well with you and your family. Cheers and keep in touch. (Reply to Note of Thanks from Max Funa below)

We in the field find your msgs very reassuring and valuable. Please accept our humble words of thank you to you and Roberto. Again thanks.

(Note of Thanks to Raj Suresh when she pitched in to continue sending the Thoughts for Today during Pops' vacation leave)

roberto, i don't want to sound unappreciative. but it's ********* easy to say a contented mind gives happiness. but how do you get a contented mind?

Thanks Roberto, I like the messages and I also like to give some comments so that you have some response in return. This is a nice one - the problem is we seem to be chasing it all the time but not quite managing to catch it!! (Comment on Thought for Today No. 30 above)
