Thank You

Thank you.   Two small words.  How often we use these words each day, so that it has become watered down and is said sometimes without much thought to what it really means.  But these two words are an indication of our knowledge of the place we hold in this vast universe.  What a huge thought!  Let’s think about this: thank you means that we are not alone.  To say “thank you” indicates that there is someone else there and that we are part of a great scheme.  A scheme which we cannot comprehend in all its entirety.  The complexity of life is such that we cannot hope to ever understand all that it is: only parts are revealed to us and each of us experiences these parts in varying degrees dependent upon our life experiences.

I’d like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! Also, I want to thank everyone who has made my blogging experience such a pleasurable one. This has been my third month of blogging and I’ve been touched by everyone who has liked, followed and/or commented on my blog. I’ve amassed 50 followers – you know who you are! Thank you so much! I haven’t had huge amounts of comments, and I’ve been secretly really jealous:) when I’ve viewed other blogs and they have hundreds of comments, but I guess I’m new to this and it takes a while to build up a blogging relationship [so WordPress tells me]. It may be that what I write doesn’t engender comment, so maybe I have to come up with more exciting stuff!:) I’ll be working on this in 2015! I’ve been privileged to discover so many talented and creative bloggers – I just don’t have enough time in the day to read you all. There has been so much amazing poetry to read, art to view etc etc. It is incredible the amount of talent out there and I’m so pleased that I’m able to share it.

Once again, a very Happy New Year 2015 and here’s to many more blogging years!
