thankfulness: Grateful for Active Rain.

I have been blogging on AR for a long time, with some stops away from time to time. What brought me back over and over again was the community.
I am so grateful for everyone here, the support, the encouragement and the knowledge shared and to which you can expose your self. As well as the long distance friendships built up in pen pal fashion. When my middle son was in Iraq with his Marine unit, members sent packages to him with goodies which helped him through the months of deployment. I am sorry, I have lost track of who sent those parcels, … (30 comments)
thankfulness: I'm thankful for my parents

I'm thankful for my parents Both my parents have died. My father died 34 years ago, my mother six years ago. They were very different from each other but both made me feel loved and cared for. I had a brother and a sister, both older, yes I was the Benjamin, the youngest of the family. My mother mis-carried three times before she had me, she always said to me, I really wanted you. What a thing to know, you were really wanted. I feel so sorry for those who don't know that. My dad fought in World War II, had not had … (4 comments)

There have been times I have left the Rain looking for the sunshine elsewhere, but when I came back I found it was here all along. As I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago, when our son served in Iraq, we had tons of support as I posted his trips and updates to the Rain. We had people reaching out to us in support. Members, who organized support packages to his unit, who we hardly knew, but to whom we were eternally grateful. I have made friends on the Rain who I then met at Triple Play, like J Phillip … (4 comments)
thankfulness: I'm thankful for the past

I'm thankful for the past It is often said, in hindsight that wasn't so bad. I recently rode a roller coaster with my grandson, looking back it wasn't so bad, at the time a completely different thought. So it is with my past. When I look back, it isn't so bad. We had some wonderful times, great vacations, tasty meals, three awesome sons, and now three wonderful daughter in laws and three grandchildren as of now. and I'm thankful for those times that were so enjoyable. But, there were also other times we made it through, even though I didn't think we would. There were … (5 comments)
thankfulness: Have you tried...?

The last few weeks I have been getting ready for 2008. It started when I decided I was dissatisfied with my harvest for this year. Looking at my results I realized I had been a lazy farmer and it was nothing to do with the market. I sat down with my manager and we worked on a plan. Something I was comfortable doing and would do. I started applying it straight away as I want 2008 to be a good year and you cannot reap if you do not plant the seeds. So I have been busy making calls, writing notes and emails. Prospecting. … (4 comments)
