Damn - didn't get to bed after all, but was inspired and jammed through first draft of article. Now for a few winks ...
Stoked that I got email down to less than 20 action items and achieved my main task of the day and more. Now sleep. Write article tommorow.
What a depressing ending to Pay It Forward, glad it doesn't happen to everyone who positively impacts the lives of so many. #PayItForward
