This was originally posted on January 22, 2009. I decided to repost it because I LIKE it (& since this is my blog, I CAN;-). I also have made the executive decision NOT to take UP nor reSUME the task of adding MORE things to this list of all I'm thankful for (at least not EVERY Thursday as I had intended when I began this mission - maybe if I feel the need:-). But, as I re-read this specific list (with links to the other posts:-) I am reminded ONCE again, of how AMAZINGLY BLESSED I AM!
Twenty-one of the 1000 Things I'm Thankful I've Experienced in My Lifetime:
241) Health!
242) That I learned the lessons taught by my elders!
243) Parents who love me - often - more than they've loved themselves! (& I spent time with them both this past weekend:-)
244) That I have beautiful nephews & a brother in law (& I saw them all this past weekend:-).
245) Siblings who protected me through-out childhood (& I saw them all this past weekend:-).
246) That I'm a published author & literary producer - thanx 2 Blog-Land!
247) Great friends (too many to include their photos here - but U all know who U are;-)
248) I was blessed to hear the melodic voice of Brother Welford Jackson of Aylett, Va. Although, he was memorialized this past Friday, January 10th he will always be in my heart. Please rest in peace because YOU "won't have to cry no more."
249) My parents & life has exposed me to a vast range of people, places and characters which has broadened my life view!
246) Inspirational, dedicated teachers!
250) Students who kept me honest (& kept me laughing;-)!
251) Colleagues & Peers who are sincere & love our calling (even if not all the time;-).
252) I have always been blessed with a place of my own.
253) The Creator blessed me with a great many talents & appreciation for the talents of others.
254) The fact that I have lived through & been strengthened by some very hard lessons.
255) That I love to laugh & make others laugh!
256) Internet access - has blessed me in a variety of ways:-)
257) Facebook - has reconnected me to so many!
258) That I am given new opportunities to be the best me possible!
259) I have been blessed with great genes!
260) That for my 44th B'earth Day - I got the 44th President who looks like shades of ME (swagga & all;-). It was a blessing to BE THERE to witness it LIVE!

So Thankful 2 Be Among The Living!!
There have been too many who have left this Earthly realm sooner than it seems necessary (including members of my family)! I may not BE The Creator (so, who am I to really say they "left too soon"?) - but, I will heed the lessons that are put around me BY The Creator!
For the remainder of this year (& prayerfully, from HERE ON) I vow to:
- Be Encouraged!
- Be SO THANKFUL that I do no complaining w/ these LIPS
- ACTIVELY LIVE & Enjoy THIS ONE chance I have on this earth!
I truly appreciate all who support my projects & endeavors!
Hugz 2 U ALL!!
