the real thanks

The real thanks

I let my family know each day that I am thankful for them. I make it a point to always be appreciative of what I have, and what is given me. I would like to do the same here, and thank all the people I have met through the weblogging community. I would really have liked to list each one by one and say something about them, but I am time constrained here, being a holiday and all. So I give you a bunch of names, and while they may seem like just names and websites to you, they are so much more than that to me. Each one has, in some way, made a difference in my life. They may have helped me learn how to get this site together, or help me put it together. They may have comforted me, listened to me and made me feel special. They may have made me laugh when I needed it most or just spent the night chatting away with me when I felt like talking. Some of them are people I talk to every day, people who know much more about me than I ever intended to tell about myself. They are people whose own weblogs bring me joy and pleasure. They are people who have my eternal gratitude and thanks, and I really don't want to single anyone out, but there are some who have been lifelines for me when the going got tough and I hope I have done the same for them. They know who they are.

So, thank you:

Candi, Shel, Geoff, Nancy, Chris, Ian, Dave, Melissa, Jason,
Erika, Keith, D, Jocelyn, Ashley, Molly, Dave, Lee, brandy, Fredo, Charles,
anathea, bryan, Kevin, matt, John, Pat, mg, kd,
miguel, Daniel, John, Trav and Kabs....

Ok, I could really go on for another five minutes here, but I have stuff in the oven and on the stove and please, please forgive me if I have forgotten anyone, it wasn't intentional and I probably should not have done something like this when I was in a rush. But you all rock my world, you know?
