Gratitude

Posted on December 18, 2002 in Gratitude

Please allow me to thank: cinnamon, blu iguana, Jennifer, Grey Bird (my discoverer!), VASpider, Jaded Ju, Single Mom, dear Red Water Lily, Marie, the incorrigible Karen Zipdrive, bl.ogs, existentialmoo, Solonor, In Sequence, wKenShow, chari the good karma woman, rainbow, bobbi, andrea the serial deviant, LA Blogs, Elkit, Pascale Soleil, Raye, Tuesday, Wise Woman, Thymewise, Artichoke Heart, Madame Fabulous (pugugly? Hardly), Scott, Francis, Alexandra, Bink, and Susan Jayne (I always have to end with a witch it seems.)

The numbers have dwindled, largely because of anathemas pronounced on me by some locally popular people, but when I look at this list, I see true friends. You may notice that while they’ve all cut me off their lists, I haven’t cut most of them off mine (though I moved a lot to back pages).

Thanks, too, to those who signed my Guestmap: Yami, Red Water Lily, and Scott.

Thanks to those who left messages of support these past few weeks, especially blu, rainbow, and Teresa who’ve been there in these bad times, who’ve not been afraid to come around when there is someone hurting here, who’ve stood with me when I’ve raged against the cruel idea that my life is one string of punishments for existing.

I strive to reciprocate all links. If you don’t find your link on this page, check the one that says “More Links”. My usual offer stands: if there are new links I have not found or if I have your site information wrong, I will apply one piece of ash and wear one square inch of sackcloth. If you have not yet linked me, I expect you to do the same until you have remedied the situation.

And thanks to you, dear reader, for slogging all the way to the end of this article. With such endurance, you can survive the introductions at a Toastmaster’s convention.
