		<description>Hi Barbara - Part of what made my introduction to blogging easier than we expected was the reaction  received from you and the group of commenters at your site.  You play a pivotal role in bringing out the best by providing strong resources and a forum rooted in respect and encouragement.  It seems like it would be an enormous task to keep that up, but you do it with grace.  Thank you.</description>

		<description>Hi Betsy - Blogosphere is filled with a lot of wonderful people, isn&#039;t it?  When I first started blogging I wasn&#039;t sure what to expect, and within a short period of time Catherine and I &quot;met&quot;.  Since then she&#039;s been by best blogosphere friend (BBF?).  I am blessed.  

Thank you for the link love Betsy.  I truly appreciate it.

		<description>Hi Lance - LOL fair enough. The Vikes didn&#039;t deserve to win that one, and what about the rushing yards?  Bizarre.

Hi Davina - Yep, another one.  We&#039;re still trying to sort it out in our heads.  I&#039;m almost to the point of &quot;we report, you decide.&quot;  :)</description>

(ok, I&#039;ll be back...but it&#039;s NOT going to change how I feel about those guys you call the Vikings)...</description>

		<description>Hi Lance - Thank you so much.  Don&#039;t make me get all verklempt again!  Not with the Vikings/Packers on in a few minutes!

Hi Steph - I think it&#039;s much easier to give or see giving than to receive.  I have to practice receiving graciously without dissolving into a puddle.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Being generous is one of my favourite things. But witnessing the generosity of others touches me in very profound ways. I admit I can tend toward cynicism and a negative view of humankind because I let the crap get me down. But when I see genuine generosity, it restores my faith and makes me feel more connected.

		<description>You&#039;re doing great stuff here Betsy (and Pete!)!  I&#039;m drawn to what you write and how it really makes me ponder...  So, these mentions you&#039;ve received really don&#039;t surprise me - you&#039;ve earned them with the awesome writing (and photos) you have here!

And, I leave here today inspired to be more generous in my day, and in my interactions - thank you!

		<description>Hi Cath - We&#039;ve had another ghostly visit since that post, already.  I guess &quot;someone&quot; likes the attention.  Read through some of Oktober 5&#039;s other work, too.  He is very gifted and his creativity is multi-faceted.

Hi Mike - Welcome!  Thank you for coming by,and feel free to look around.  It&#039;s nice that we share both Cath and O5.  I can&#039;t wait for your square to be revealed.</description>

		<description>Cath and I have been exchanging comments for over a year now.  Mixed in with her business postings, which don&#039;t interest me, are a lot of gems.

I&#039;ve been reading October 5 for several weeks now.  That first square on his blog that still has a Christmas present on it.  That one&#039;s mine.  My request is just going to take a while longer.

I came to your blog from October 5&#039;s post and I&#039;ve added it to my feed reader as, so far anyway, looks interesting.

Hope you are having a great weekend!</description>
