Wow! An amazing list! I'll be reading all weekend! Thanks for including me here, Glynn.
I'll be clicking links and eating up words today!
IU'm quite humbled to be included in your list Glynn, thank you.
Glynn, I've only been through the first two, and I'm already inspired and awed and grateful.
Thanks for the list you give us each week....
I remember an educator, a consultant that the school system I worked for -- paid to come to talk to us teachers about how we needed to prepare our students for the future, and, I rolled my eyes at his message. (Unfortunately, I am a career eye-roller.) He said, and this was about ten years ago, that at some point in the next twenty years, man would not need to write to communicate -- he would be using other means. Here I was an English teacher who spent much of her time encouraging students to learn to write effectively because it was a life skill, and one that can bring much joy when done well.
After reading posts like these this morning, I am so thankful for words and writing. I am grateful for the gift of language, the gift of expressing it, and of course, the Internet, which has given me the opportunity to read what others have to say -- others who I will never meet, but get to journey with as they express their thoughts, reflections, and ideas on this community that you pull together each week. What I am getting from all of these blogs is a chance to meet and hear from people -- it's like I am having coffee and listening to friends talk about their day or what's going on in their lives.
Good morning, Glynn, and thanks.
:)
Glynn...becoming a must read post for me every week. Thanks for inclusion as well!
David

Ooh, lots of good reading ahead! Thanks for compiling the list, Glynn. And thank you for including me.
I just love to come by on Saturdays and catch up on the good reads I've missed! Thanks for including my poem, Glynn; it was a special moment for me.
Have a blessed sabbath.
Thank you for encouraging... finding what might be overlooked or forgotten. Giving a space.
Thanks Bro' for honoring me, I do appreciate it!
Glynn, I'm sorry that being out of town delayed my adequate expression of gratitude for your mention. I must certainly share credit with Maureen, though—and with OK Go.
Thank you. I'm honored.
