Thank you Thursdays

THANK YOU THURSDAY

Well I know. I have done this before on a limited basis, however I suspect I don’t do it enough (no not change my socks).  

SAY  THANKS 

So I am going to  try to religiously (and if you have no  religious leanings)  just pretend I said. Regularly  or routinely  do this  twice a month on —you guessed it Thursdays!

So I’m pretending this is my first ever T—Y—T  post so let’s Stuart at the beginning (well  not with Adam and Eve or the Big Bang—I don’t. Have all day to explain the quantum physics. Involved.  Even if I did some of. You would start a big debate over the. Particle vs wave controversy and let’s not even. Get into  dark matter, string theory, or  the many worlds hypothesis.  

Okay let’s. Get down to it

It’s my Mom’s Birthday so I’m going to start. With my parents and family.  Without. Those folks my mind.probably wouldn’t have the  “unique” qualities  it takes  for me to write  this stuff.  I’m not saying they agree with it so much as  they provide a particular. Framework that helps me keep a very. Loose grip on  sanity....but they kept me alive  for all these many years.  So Happy Birthday Mom and thanks to the rest of my family.  If. You are a relative  reading this..yes. It applies to you too—no good deed should go unpunished.

Now ..

Let’s get a little more serious.

It’s also Tom Murray’s  birthday and he is an author  who I talked with about. Writing. A couple times.  He has this. Book “Fathers Sons & Holy Gosts of Baseball (see link below) and he used. Nearly half a lifetime to  write it in honor of  a place and some people he loved.  Anybody. Who writes knows the. Need to finish something once it is in your blood and that’s what I have Tom to thank for.

There is also. Jane Sutter from my hometown and she has written a billion newspaper. Articles and a book about her family’s  “drug store/ soda fountain”.  It illustrates how a small business  weaves it way through the lives of.  People. And a community.  Also Jane has  provided   me with answers to questions about. Writing.  I may interview. Her for an upcoming. Blog post or two but  I haven’t figured out. If it’s a blog or a podcast endeavor.  

Now to some  people. I have thanked. Before and will again...

Peter Leidy  (http://www.peterleidy.com) who has a curious manner about. The world and  is not afraid to  learn and pass his weirdos along.  He also listens to my ideas—some  good —some  bad.  He  encourages my. Mindfulness  Side  so the more I act like a guru...well thank/blame him. 

Now when it comes to the  bloggers/social media/marketing folks I want to thank.  First is my daughter.  She’s not famous but what sy he is I’d say is inventive and courageous and willing to  start a business on her. Own to make her life better.  Her. Link is below and will appear  on my blog  fairly regularly as she is always. Putting. Some new products together  for  seasonal accessories or cosplay purposes.  

Next there is “do. You Even  Blog”. Podcaster. Pete who has provided  great information both in. Personal correspondence and on his  podcasts about blogging.   (His link is below). 

Finally for today there is Giles Jordan who  has done the same for me as  Pete.  

Last...but  absolutely. Not least has been the writing and reading communities on Twitter.  You are not all angels but the support you provide each other is uplifting and deserves some. Gratitude.  

Writing and living are complicated  ventures. Separately and doing them together  even more so.  

So for now  I’m going to have to wrap. This up so that I can get it posted today—otherwise the whole. “Thursday” thing doesn’t work so well.  

If you  want me to thank someone on this blog on some upcoming. Thursday be sure and  send along a comment on this, a facebook message, or  a tweet and I will do almost my best to get it included.

Thanks 

Yep
