Blog Posted:6/4/2015 4:33:00 PM

Yesterday I received mail from PS Administration informing me that I had been donated a Premium Membership!

As can be expected, it was a most pleasant surprise!

I have racked my brains, but unfortunately I have no idea who the donor is.

I am therefore availing myself of this blog, which is an added bonus that comes with the PM package, to thank him/her for the kindness and support.

I can assure this 'angel' that this gift is very much appreciated.

Thank you!!!

[Please, do contact me in private.]

Yes, Iris...that kind person comprehends!! We tend to focus on the many negative things that go on around us, yet there are also lovelt traits of kindness and positivity. People like this make a difference in life. // paul

Arthur

Date: 6/4/2015 11:30:00 PM

I have had the same happen to me! I have been scratching my head ever since! I know is meant with great heart, and not wishing to take credit, but I sure wish I could know, angels should not be hidden but exposed as great examples, the point I am making, is what a beautiful thing to have done! Thank you whoever you are!

Paul Callus
Date: 6/5/2015 12:51:00 PM

I am glad that you passed through the same experience, Arthur! The air of mystery surrounding this gift has a beauty of its own, but I still would like to know who s/he!

Paul Callus
Date: 6/5/2015 12:36:00 PM

Thank you Eileen. What a surprise it was!! I have a feeling that I know who that fairy is. I will take a gamble and check it out; hopefully this might lead me to the mystery donor:) hugs // paul

Date: 6/4/2015 10:40:00 PM

Congrats, Paul. I think I know who it might be. This fairy has always been active. She gifted me a PS...twice! Give you any clue? ;) It's worth checking. Anyway....I'm happy for you. You are dear to me. I'm glad. Hugs

Paul Callus

I'm happy for you, Paul, though you know it already. I even suspected you were the one who donated for me! lol! Just my logical mind at work, seeing your name under the list with new PMs. I thought, maybe when he signed up, he added my name? It was a pleasant surprise to know you were a recipient too! Here's to you, and your kind benefactor! Cheers!

Paul Callus
Date: 6/5/2015 12:26:00 PM

It has happened to me Paul - the feeling of receiving such an amazing gift is overwhelming - when I was gifted my PM it spurred me on to try my best with my poetry I wanted to make this person proud of me and for them to be able to see that their generosity was so appreciated:-) I have a big smile on my face for you Paul I know how good you must be feeling:-) hugs Jan xx

Paul Callus
Date: 6/4/2015 5:07:00 PM
