My Personal Note of Thanksgiving

Heather, I couldn't have my expressed my feelings better about this community and the wonderful people here, both staff and members. It's been a great experience working here and working with you. I also work with Michele, who is very talented, and Marjorie who adds wit and whimsy to Home and Garden. Valorie and Melissa both inspire me as well, and I've enjoyed the way Catherine shares so openly. Everyone you mentioned, and every blogger here, has touched me and others in some way. Lisa... well, what would we do without Lisa? She is apparently tireless, a kind friend, supportive, smart, funny, and exceptional to work with. Those who created this community deserve special thanks as well. And, I thank you for so graciously welcoming me into Marriage and for being a motivator and a friend.
