Mr. M. saw your potential. The Gage Canadian Dictionary defines potential as, "possible as opposed to actual; capable of coming into being or action." You, Tracy, have taken that seed, perhaps planted by a good teacher, and, with God's help, you have brought it into fruition. You are an actual and successful writer. I think Mr. M would be proud of your accomplishments. God, however, may not yet be done with your growth plan.

I read this after I just finished writing and scheduling my post for tomorrow and it's interesting how often our posts have a similar thread :)Lorie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209095783110651278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-20364844774046177072015-11-15T15:19:19.037-07:002015-11-15T15:19:19.037-07:00Yes, it is wonderful to have Mr Meginbir's in ...Yes, it is wonderful to have Mr Meginbir's in our lives. And as Bobbi Junior put it, we have opportunity to encourage one another with what could be a tipping point for that day in the word smith! And I agree so often "the real version in my mind was so much better." <br />Thanks for sharing today!

He moved the next year, I believe, and may still be teaching. I agree, Bobbi. We just never know how an insignificant comment may affect someone - for good or bad.

It occurs to me that we have that same opportunity over and over - maybe not with kids, but with each other, with our fellow Word Warriors. What I see as an insignificant morsel of encouragement might be the tipping point to take a hesitant writer into the realm of putting it out there. May we all keep our eyes open for such opportunities! And God bless Mr. Meginbir, wherever he may be!Bobbi Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366421883424533929noreply@blogger.com
