Up to 12...

It's almost the end of February and I've already read 12 books. I've also written almost five chapters of my book. And, I'm about to see my first article published in a magazine!! Yep, it's finally going to happen. The magazine went to press last week and I should have my copies right around my birthday. Words cannot express how accomplished I feel!!

I'm also pissed. Why can't people say "thank you?" It's two words. Two small words. And it's two small words that make peuple feel wonderful. They're not hard to say but what they say is amazing.

I've realized that my life is full of people who don't say "thank you" and I can't stand it!! No, "thank you for picking up those papers for me" or "thank for you for the birthday present fo myself or my child." I'm to the point where I don't even want to be around these people. Sad, isn't it? But you know what? I go out of my way to help some people and I get nothing from them. I'm done with that. I'm not asking for banners behind airplanes or boquets of flowers. Nope, I'm asking for two words.

I also have numerous people in my life who do say "thank you" and they say it often. I love being around them b/c I know they appreicate me - not take me for granted.

So, if I haven't said "thank you" for something then I'm saying it now. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

Peace.
