GRATITUDE

by Betsy Wuebker on November 25, 2008

Today marks our 50th post.  On the eve of Thanksgiving, it seems appropriate to extend our thanks to you for sharing our journey.  We certainly didn’t know what to expect when we began. Along the way we have made some delightful discoveries – not the least of which is that there is strong community to be celebrated, and new friends to be made around every corner.  We have been rewarded with your time, your loyal support and your thoughtful comments.

In uncertain times, the return on relationships brings forth the highest yields, and good spirits act as investments toward a rewarding future.  True wealth for all of us resides in connections with whom we share the road.  This Thanksgiving Day, we are wealthy beyond compare.  So, celebrate we will on Thursday, with a very long list of things for which we are deeply grateful.    We tip our glass to you with thankful hearts.

Betsy and Pete Wuebker

Hey, a picture – very cool! I like it! You are a very happy couple…

In spite of the fact that you like the Vikings! (but, for today – I’m not going to hold that against you!)…

Congrats on 50 posts! Here’s to many, many more – you two, as a team, are very talented.

Have a great Thanksgiving! (and how about if we just all cheer for the Packers this weekend…)

Congratulations! I passed the 50 post mark a couple of weeks ago, so does that make me older than you? In either situation, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

Hi Lance – After your recent photos, we felt it was safe! ;) We do love the Pack, just not when they’re playing the Vikes! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hi Joy – Welcome! Feel free to have a look around. We’re glad you came by!

Hi Matthew – Please, we’d be delighted if you’d be older! A person can hope can’t they? Shucks, we remember when dirt was made! Thank you back.

Hey, I love that photo too. It almost says “we are so happy but we can’t show it all”.

Hi Sean – Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Miguel – Thank you, that was our happy wedding day two years ago!

Hi Stacey – Thank you, it’s hard to believe, but I’m the talkative sort I’m told!

Hi Vered – Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Wow, everywhere I look people have posted on gratitude this week! (myself included!) Must be something in the air (Christmas?)

I really like what you’ve written here, congratulations on your journey so far. My favourite line =
“True wealth for all of us resides in connections with whom we share the road. ”

Cheers

Hi Betsy – great pic. It makes a change to be looking at your face instead of your ass.

Congratulations on your first 50 posts. I think milestones like that keep you going. It doesn’t seem long since I had 50 posts and now I have over 500. I was feeling pretty good about it until some guy on twitter mentioned that he had 10,000 web pages.

Hi Cath – LOL, I figured everyone had seen my ass, there was no danger in showing our faces. Yes, it seems we never dreamed we’d hit 50 posts, although I’m sure Pete would tell you I have plenty to say so he’s not surprised. Ten thousand webpages? On what? Cialis?

Hi Kathy – Thanks! We figure everybody will know us from our happiest day. :)

Hi Sharon – Thank you! Hope you stick around!
