thanksgiving for my friends,
the old and the new.

There is a special place in my heart

You have showered me with a generosity of spirit and
friendship that knows no boundaries.
I will always remember your kindness.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Birthday wishes to a blogging guru

April 5 is SAJ Shirazi's birthday.  I've crowned him "King for the Day."  If you're new to the blogging, you may wonder why I'm singling him out.

Shirazi is one of the most talented online writers in the blogosphere. 

He publishes several sites, including his cornerstone blog, Light Within, and sajshirazi.com.  He's the go-to expert on all things about blogging. Shi, as I fondly call him, has taught me a great deal on blogging best practices.  Little did I know when we discovered his site about seven years ago that we'd become great online friends. 

Through Shirazi, I have met other outstanding bloggers.Over the years, Shirazi has developed a strong online presence.  Even so, he's a pretty humble guy.  He's caring, resourceful, and incredibly smart.  

Everyone likes a good celebration, even Shi.  Pay a visit to his site and get this party started!

Merry Christmas

Remembering the Christmas miracle and the treasure of friendship

During this joyous season, I remember the prophesy of peace - and the reason for the season of Christmas. It is also a time to be thankful for friends.

A FRIENDSHIP PRAYER

Dear Lord,

Thank you for a special gift,

one that cannot be bought

for any amount of money.

Thank you for a gift wrapped in beauty,

that is wonderful in all seasons and times.

Thank you for a gift that is always near

in times of need

and brings great joy.

Thank you for the gift that sparkles

with freshness every day.

Thank you for my friend.

May I never take this gift for granted.

Amen.
