A Gift From My Team

Upon my departure, my team provided me with a word cloud for things that they felt described me.  The cloud gives greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text - e.g. the more folks say "handsome," the bigger the word "handsome" is.

Here's my cloud:

To say I was flattered was a complete understatement.  

Am I all that?  Lord knows I don't feel I am.  I feel a fraction of what is presented here, and certainly unworthy of something like "hero," (which did actually make me break down when I found it.)  Me?  A hero to someone?  Wow.

What it perhaps does show is that I did make an impact and perhaps a difference.  Ultimately, that what we're all charged to do.

It is one of the nicest gifts anyone has ever given me, and I'm humbled to receive it.

Even if nobody said "handsome!"
