Lots to Be Thankful For
Thanksgiving is a time when we get together with family, eat too much, watch the Cowboys win, and give thanks for all the wonderful blessings God has bestowed upon us. I think about what I am personally thankful for, and of course I first think of my family, my friends, my health, and my strength. But this year I have something new to be thankful for: DALLAS SOUTH BLOG!!!
It may sound trite to some, and contrived to others, but I am thankful that a technophobe like myself has been able to survive out here in the blogosphere. I'd have to thank Bob Sturm for introducing me to the concept of a blog, and Men's Health magazine for placing the thought in my head that I could actually start my own site. I thank my wife for putting up with blog talk, and my mom for clicking on my site everyday.
But most of all, I'd like to thank every person who has taken at least 3 seconds to read what I have to say here at Dallas South. In the initial days, I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to read my work, but the positive feedback and encouragement that I have gotten has inspired me, and I must admit I'm having a GREAT TIME blogging.
I'm thankful for Dallas Progress, I Hate Dallas, Blue Island, and Parenting Toys; blogs who have linked to my site, and the writers who have given me great feedback and advice. I am thankful for my subscribers. And I am thankful for Ed Haskin, who has given me such great technical support. And I'm thankful for everyone who has taken time out of their busy schedules to give me an interview.
Dallas South Blog is going places. It's not because of me, but because of God's grace, and because of all of you.
I wish you all safe travels. May God's blessing be upon you, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
