Things to be thankful for

Hey--it's Thursday, and while I never really got into the whole Thursday Thirteen thing, it's Thanksgiving, and I've had a good day. I survived the invasion of the killer twenty pound turkey and lived to wash up. So--I'd like to give thanks.

Thank you, Kaige, Andi and Alice for bearing with me this year--I have the sneaking suspicion it's because I haven't met you in real-life yet, so didn't get a chance to chase you off. You're been good sports about my writing soapbox, pedantic muttering and maudlin self-pity. Maybe I wouldn't chase you off...

Deanna--if I had to have a lurker, I'd pick you. I enjoy talking to you and reading your blog. It's wabisabi for the mind, and I wish you well in your journey. God Bless.

Liana...what can I say? Thanks for being part of my life. One day, you, your husband and kid are going to have to visit.

Kimberly. You know I like you. I believe in you. Come to conference.

Jeanna? You are good for me and make me laugh, and I know I amuse you to no end, but every hot air balloon (that'd be me<<<) needs a sharp stick. When I get a little full of myself, you bring me to earth in a good way. :)

Jen? *sigh* wish it could have worked out. I'm not the easiest person to know.

Which brings me to you, Cowboy. I tell people I've got the personality of a rabid wolverine, but you're the only one who believes me. I'm always amazed you see me for what I am and don't run screaming.

Happy Thanksgiving.
