No marym625, I am not exaggerating when I say 'inspiring' . What you did quite honestly 'further' inspires me! Allow me to explain:
A week ago I ran into a very small elderly lady wearing a dirty Bernie Sanders shirt at the Yelm (Wa) Food Co-op. Of course I couldn't resist speaking with her. The first thing I noticed was a beautiful English accent but the second thing I noticed, (and it ran me over like a steamroller) was that this lady had more spunk* regarding all things Bernie than any ten of DU's Sanders Supporters COMBINED! We discussed Thom Hartmann; we discussed why it is critically important to vote for Hillary Clinton if Bernie Sanders does not get the nomination, (especially to fill SCOTUS vacancies was her admonishment to me when I raised an eyebrow on this subtopic); we discussed the Seattle rally that we both attended and the Portland Rally the very next day that she also attended. We even discussed the boxes our Bernie Bears** came in. Outside her car was plastered with bumper stickers, the only sticker that wasn't Bernie Sanders related said: "Proud Student of Thom Hartmann University"! Lastly, (when I was able to get a topic in edgewise), I mentioned that I was a loyal member of the big ol' Democratic Underground. (She said she'd have to check it out, hopefully she sees this post).
I gave her my telephone number because she told me that she wants me to help her promote Bernie Sanders in our area! What you relate here in your OP is inspiring to me marym625 as is the indomitable will of this lady I just met. I've never worked for anyone's campaign prior to this but as soon as my dental work is completed, (2-3 weeks), I'll be out there working hard for Bernie too. (I need to add that I just got a fancy-shmancy new digital camera so hopefully I'll get to be posting way cool photos like yours here too).
