Gratitude

Posted on July 12, 2004 in Gratitude

Every time I have a fight with someone who thinks he or she “did it all themselves and owes no one anything”, I look back to myself, to my poems, to this blog.

I play a major and irreplaceable role in the creation of this and my other web sites. Get rid of me and Pax Nortona fizzles. It won’t be the same without me. So I have a right to respect myself and my own work, to say that this is my blog and my rules.

But what makes a blog thrive are the contributions of others, the links and the comments. And this is where gratitude comes in. Those who read, those who comment, those who link to me enlarge my work. And the appropriate response to that is Thank You. Thank You for Remembering that I Exist. Thank you for telling your friends about me. Thank you for including me in Life Abundant.
