  • Reflections on Gratitude

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours this Holiday.  I hope you have much to be thankful for.  May your God bless you today. 

    Some things I am grateful for:

    1.  Writing
    2.  Music
    3.  The Great Spirit
    4.  Love
    5.  Family, both actual and of the heart

    and Lastly…

    6.  For the giant meal that I will eat at 2 PM.

    And now a TAG to keep you occupied as you try to escape from those crazier of your relations….

    Tell me why you write…

    Why do I write?

    I write to be heard.

    I write to make a difference.

    I write to be relevant.

    I write to understand how I feel.

    I write to work out my salvation with fear and trembling.

    I write to exorcise demons, both internal and external.

    I write to make sense of the world around me.

    I write to be who and what I am.

    I write to embrace my past, present, and future.

    I write to connect with I AM.

    I write to set free that creativity inside of me,

    So that my words can grow, reach outside of their maker,

    And touch the world.

  • A good list–and wonderful reasons to write and keep writing.  I hope your Thanksgiving is a happy and warm one.

  • I try to be thankful everyday, otherwise I feel unappreciative.
    Want to hear something funny? I’ve been a xangan for nearly 510 days and this is the first time I’ve been tagged. What is the appropriate response? Must I answer at your place or mine?

  • I write to have someone to interact with.

  • A fantastic list, sweet one. I hope you and your family had a great day of giving thanks. I’ll have my tag up here in a few.

  • I am thankful for this moment….. I write because I must, if I did not….I would not be me.

  • All great reasons.

    My most simple reason: I write because I couldn’t imagine NOT writing.

  • Consider it done and posted. It doesn’t cut very deep, but deep enough for the general public.

  • I plan on doing this one :)
