It certainly the theme of the day isn't it. Could not let it get by without thanking Active Rain and some of my favorite Active Rain friends for the following things:
Making me laugh when I feel like crying.
Consistently giving me support.
Opening up so I can get to know you in some cases more intimately than I know the people I am closest to.
Allowing me to be myself when I am not always on my "A" game.
Always making me feel welcome and a part of the group.
Giving me your time by reading my blogs and commenting on them as well as writing yours and allowing me to be a part of them.
Sharing your favorite tricks of the trade and helping me better my career and livelihood.
Sticking up for me when other commenter's take a low road.
Ardell, Had it not been for your panel involvement at Inman (San Fran.) I may have never had the luxury of knowing these other people. THANK YOU for taking the time to speak to us last August. I hope everything is going great with your new job!

Jason, You were my second friend on Active Rain. You and I bantered back and forth on countless posts and I think you are an amazing person. You stood up for me when non-Cowboy fans tried to attack and posted comments faster than even I could. Thank You For YOU! ")

Tom, You are always smiling! I know that sounds funny because you probably use the same or similar picture but I can tell by your posts and your comments...you really always seem like a ray of sunshine that either I get the luxury of reading on your blog or when you bless mine with your presence.

There were many more people I believe I am in the midst of getting to know. For the sake of the length of this post and the fact that I am supposed to be entertaining real people in my house right now (I know..) I gotta go....but I'm looking forward to building more relationships here on Active Rain and I so much appreciate the ones I have today.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)
