Counting My Blessings...

I hope that you are all with your families and friends celebrating this great holiday. Please take a moment to think about what you are most thankful for and then say "Thanks!". If that means sending a quick email to your co-worker or leaving an extra $1 tip for your favorite waitress, go for it. If you are thankful for the food on your table, tell the cook who put it there and then take a canned food item to your local food shelter. If you are thankful for the clothes on your back, thank the person that gave it to you (even if it was you!) and then take a clothing item to your local woman's shelter. While it is important to think about our blessings it is also very important to act on them! So make a difference this holiday season and make sure to include your kiddos! 

And I want to tell each and everyone of you that I am very thankful for you taking the time to add me to your list of blogs to visit! I appreciate each and everyone of you!!  

Blog Reader Appreciation - June 2010

I just saw this over on the Proud Book Nerd's Blog and thought it was an awesome thing to do! Then I realized I was on her list!!! So I knew I had to participate in this pay it forward Blog Reader Appreciation Day!

I get to THANK all of my wonderful readers for doing just that – reading my blog! I also get to give special thanks to those who send others my way. THANK YOU! It means more than I can say.

This was started by Kelli at 3 Boys & a Dog.


Here’s how it works:

Go into your tracking service (I use Google Analytics) and set the time period for June 1st – June 30th.
Find the sites that have referred readers to you and put them in order from most sends to lowest.


Write a post (like this one) listing your top 10 referrers.


Link that post up in Kelli’s MckLinky, which isn’t up yet – she posts hers on the third.


It would be appreciated if you could link back to this post, you know – return the favor!
