Requesting A Quote

For three weeks I have struggled every day to find something to be grateful for.

For three weeks I have struggled to hang in there and beat Harvey.

For three weeks my life has been nothing but heartaches and hassles.

For three weeks I have wondered will my life ever be the same.

Will I ever be the same?

Today has been extremely difficult, six hours on the phone and no more ahead than I was six hours ago!

Pushed to the point of such aggravation that my mouth should be washed out with soap.

Orders placed two weeks ago canceled due to whatever lie they could come up with.

The Internet is acting up and causing duplicate transactions on everything.

Double payments sent for bills, at least next month no need to worry, only need to worry about making sure you have the money to cover it NOW.

Finally, I decided to do something easy, get a quote on a storage container, filled out the required information and then you wait.

Decided I would watch Steve Harvey and take a minute to unwind.

My phone rings at 3:15 pm. is this Cookie? Yes.. when the call was getting ready to be completed, the gentleman says, thank you so much for your work The Faces of AS.

I was stunned, do what? How did you know?

He says I have to verify the integrity of the email sent to me and it was linked to the Faces of Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Harvey has kept me so busy that I haven't been in touch with the AS community much.

It caught me by surprise and my voice cracked when speaking to him.

I was stunned, to say the least.

He said I spent the last hour reading your website and wanted to say thank you so much, you see my mother suffers from Ankylosing Spondylitis.

I told him, please send me the information to share your mother's story I would be honored to have her.

He said he would.

Again he thanked me and then the call was disconnected.

That phone call brought more peace to me than anything else has in a long time. It reminded me that even when my life is in shambles and I am struggling... my true calling will always be needed and my work will always be appreciated.

Who would have thought that requesting a quote would turn out to be such a blessing...

Today I am grateful for this kind human being.
