I Am Thankful for Being HERE! (A Personal Note)

by Maya on September 8, 2009

Good Morning to everyone who has emailed me over the past couple of weeks…. and apparently sent out an online search party to find me.  Thank you so much for noticing that I had gone missing.

Of course, I owe an explanation to all, not because any of you expect it but because I so appreciate the fact that you care.  There was a small accident that took me out of circulation for a couple of weeks.  I am quite fine now…. well…. almost.  And, I will be doing my best to keep up with my commitment to share our neighborhood and my gratitude.

I probably won’t be updating the journal everyday for a while.  But, I will do the best I can.  And, my updates will probably be a little shorter than usual.   But, for those wonderful friends who care and searched…. I am back!

Today I am thankful for those people, near and far, some who have faces and voices and others who appear as pictures and print.  Perhaps, today I feel the most overwhelming gratitude for everyone, people I don’t even really know beyond a comment or an email or two…. all of you who read the journal and keep in touch.

I am thankful for you.

I just read your fantastic blog post . It seems like we share the attitude that “Gratitude is good for you.” Grateful Nation is an online community that gives grateful people the opportunity and resources to connect, give back, and be thankful. Hopefully, one thanks will lead to another, and we’ll create an unending positive cycle of gratitude.

Vanessa,
I do apologize for not responding before now. I had a slight accident that took this old lady out of commission for a couple of months and just when I thought I was back I caught a bad cold that put me to bed for a couple of weeks. But, so much for that.
I will definitely visit your site. Thanks for sharing with us. Hopefully, some of our readers will visit.
You are invited to contribute a post to the Online Gratitude Journal any time you wish. We would welcome your insight and of course, we always appreciate gratitude.
Maya

Hi Maya-glad to hear you’re back. The leader of your “search party” told me you have a new pair of overalls for Friday…I’m off to the states shortly after Friday, but hope to post the photos from our celebration here on Saturday. Welcome back-Laury

Laury,
How long will you be in the states? I am so out of touch that I had no idea anyone was coming to the New World.
