Gratitude Girl

Dear Nathan: You've been on my mind... Thank you for portraying one of my all-time favorite characters so well. I play Castle on DVD regularly; the show has been a haven to me – and to my dogs – for years.  You are also the reason I've read Richard Castle's (Tom Straw's) books.  You play every role you're given perfectly. You are a star! I am grateful for you. Love... Noosha Ravaghi

Dear Lisa: You've been on my mind... I've known you for just a few years, and only online, but I consider you a close friend. Is it because we've kept in touch during the pandemic? Is it because I have learned about you through the stories and letters you have published?  Thank you for staying in touch and sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate your sincerity. I'm grateful to have you in my life and honored to call you my friend.  Love... Noosha Ravaghi

Dear Juan Carlos: You've been on my mind... I've known you for over a decade now. You've been my professor, a good friend, and a decent human being. As my professor, you encouraged me to take steps outside my comfort zone, which I did, and I'm grateful for your guidance. As my friend, you listened when very few people did, and you always helped in any way you could, and I appreciate that. Thank you for being you! Thank you for all your support. Gratefully, Noosha Ravaghi

Dear Josh: You've been on my mind... You don't know me, but you've created a game I love to play. Thank you for Wordle!  I look forward to playing Wordle every morning and enjoy guessing the words using both the process of elimination and the hints provided in the form of yellow and green blocks.  Your game has also been a source of fun and entertainment for my friend and me, as we share, react to, and comment on our results daily. I, along with millions of other people, appreciate you and your creativity. Gratefully... Noosha Ravaghi
