Congratulations Joe,

I have been observing you over the time and could see only positive things around you. The incredible manner in which you always find something to be happy about in everything which surrounds you, is very infectious and this is one of the reasons why you were chosen to be the person of the year. The other thing is that you never seek attention but you pay attention. That you are not trying to be interesting but interested. The you always give credit where credit is due and instead of saying that something happened because of you, you say that you were lucky.

These are traits of a person who is happy regardless of circumstances. If more people would realize that being happy is all what matters, they could wake up each day with the smile on their faces and thank their creator for another opportunity to do something of value instead of feeling scared, worried or angry.

When I was reading your about me page, I must admit I was having tear in my eye from being inspired by your words of unselfishness, gratitude and humbleness.

I'm proud that members like yourself are part of this community.

As you and John have mentioned, there were many other people this year who had very positive impact on this community (who were considered for the vote this year). I'm inspired again seeing how you are honoring them in your responses and are taking the time to give each of them words of appreciation.

Congratulations again. This was very deserved recognition.

Bogdan Fiedur
