I was introduced to the thanksgiving list a few years ago where we would say what we are thankful for. It's a good exercise. It puts some meaning into Thanksgiving and leads us to stop and appreciate things .
Since this is the blog world I thought I would keep my list connected to the blog world.
1. I'm thankful for the people who follow my blog. You are the ones who put meaning into what I write. I very much appreciate that people stop by and visit Hiawatha House.
2. I'm thankful for all the great blogs that I get to read. I go for variety . So some blogs publish excellent photography. Others are humorous. Some blogs are very descriptive other other places. Other blogs relate daily life. Many blogs have very attractive layouts. Some blogs stick to a very narrow topic that is covered in depth. I have to be thankful that you work so hard on your blogs and that I benefit from it.
3.I'm thankful for comments. Comments do many things. Comments make me think more about what I wrote. Comments often gently show another point of view. Comments are always enlightening for me!
4. I'm thankful for the genuine friendship of fellow bloggers. You have to really care to read and comment on what I write. You pick up on things that you like and things that I struggle with. Thanks for the help and support.
5. Some of you are great huggers! So thanks for the hugs. They are most appreciated.
I look forward to more high quality blogging.
Just keep on blogging Red.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see the different aspects and views of the world.
It's a very interesting adventure.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving Red! I count you as one of my BBB's Best Blogging Buddies, it is always fun to read what you write:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, thanks, thanks. You're one of the first blogs I started following.
DeleteThose are the same reasons I like blogging too. The diversity of people you meet and have contact with all over the world. You get an image in someones life and can learn from that.
ReplyDeleteI've certainly learned about Holland and the Dutch from following your blog.
DeleteMy Mom always gave the most loving hugs and she always gave them freely. People that were not huggers, if you know what I mean, became huggers because of my Mom - there is so much to be said in a hug. I enjoy the variety and spice that is brought into my life with my fellow bloggers - I enjoy what I learn through people's different lives and like you Sir Red, I embrace the knowledge. Have a wonderful day :)
ReplyDeleteNeat story about your Mom. I'm glad that hugging has become more common.
DeleteHUGS HUGS Happy Thanksgiving Red and I agree Bloggerland is wonderful our Blogger family is the best. Hug B
ReplyDeleteThanks. I had a great thanksgiving. And hugs to you!
DeleteBlogging makes for wonderful exchanges with people you wouldn't otherwise get to know, great people like you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And then there are artists who like to teach and share knowledge with those with less artistic experience.
Deletea huge amen to all of the above. i love this world we found ourselves living in and am glad you're my 'neighbor'. :)
ReplyDeleteNeighbors? Good word for bloggers.
DeleteBest of all I am thankful to share
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how much we share.
DeleteWhat a nice post on this day of giving thanks! I am also thankful for all the wonderful people and their fantastic blogs I've run across in the blogging world. People like you! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Thanks!
DeleteVery nicely put! I find blogging to be a lot of fun, it's interesting to read what people are thinking and doing. And I certainly am glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Well, neighbor it's great to follow your blog and see beautiful Montana.
ReplyDeleteRed you're so awesome! I'm grateful to have 'met' you and that you share all you do, I've learned through what you share and I've chuckled at times, felt my heart strings tugged and what I especially love about you, you're real with no pretensions about you at all.
ReplyDeleteHave yourself a wonderful week!
Thanks.
DeleteBe careful with the compliments because they might go to my head!!!
The pleasure of sharing blogs is mutual.
Yes, you are awesome! I enjoy reading your posts and your comments!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteHey, careful with the compliments! I might get irrational ideas. I like the great variety I find on your blogs.
We are all thankful to you, too. You add a great perspective to the blogging world. I always enjoy your posts and learn so much here. And your comments are always so encouraging and welcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI find some thought provoking post on your blog.
I enjoyed your blog you are a very warm gentleman. You write from the heart. I respect you very much. I am a hugger too. To men I pat them on the back when I feel that they are not a hugger. My heart strings know when to hug and not to hug in person.On my blog comments I usually give hugs as a signature or just huggies. I also smile in person .
ReplyDeleteMy nickname is sunshine to many here that know me in person. I enjoy blog people also and they are different and like you say. People come from a big world.
Happy Thanksgiving Red.
Glad you added me as one of your friends and I to you.
Huggies

Thank you. I think bloggers can express themselves well so we get accurate information that is meaningful.
DeleteRed, what a wonderful thankful tribute to bloggers from you .
ReplyDeleteI too am thankful to have you as a blog friend . I very much enjoy the sharing of the blog community.
Mmmm. A thanksgiving list is a great idea. And you tribute to bloggers touched me. Sometimes I wonder if it all is worth the effort and you've reminded me why it definitely is so....:)
ReplyDeleteAgree on point #2
ReplyDeleteReading a variety really makes one's day.
Following you :-)
