Thanksgiving day is a day of challenge.
Will we only on that one day remember to be thankful for all of the blessings we have been given or will we continue to be thankful throughout the year?
I am personally taking it as a spring-board, a starting point, from which there is only one way to head – the direction of continued thankfulness.
Please, please feel free to keep me accountable to this throughout the year. If you catch me being ungrateful or not being thankful, you have my permission to give me a kick back in the right direction.
To continue my thankfulness from yesterday, I have tried to recognize all of my twitter friends by grouping them into lists. It’s a small, pathetic gesture really but it’s one way I could think of to tell all my tweeps that I appreciate them and am thankful for them.
I highly recommend that you follow all of these people. Here are the lists:
- My real-life friends and family
- Poets
- Pastors/Leaders/Elders
- Writers
- Geeks
- People who are too important to talk to me
- Other cool tweeps
Then, most importantly:
- The Crazy-Daily’s – the amazing people I interact with regularly if not daily
Now, I’m sure I’ve messed up with some of you. I’m sure I’ve missed important people and not put some of you in groups you should be in and put you in groups you shouldn’t be in so here’s the deal…
I’m human – and I apologize in advance for any mistakes I’ve made. Please don’t be offended, just let me know in the comments below what I’ve done wrong and I’ll fix it ASAP!
I’m so thankful for all of my online friends, both on twitter and on facebook and I look forward to getting to know you all a lot better in the coming months and years!
Aw, you put me in the "Writer" category? I'm flattered…
Katish, YOU are a writer!
Maybe not a book author yet, but some of the stuff you write is so deep and so awesome, you put me to shame!

Pleased to be one of the daily crazies!
I'm pleased you're one of the crazy-daily's too!
I love making 'lists'. Especially a 'writer' list created by you, Peter (the fact I'm on the 'crazy' list too, is awesome!). Thanks!
You're welcome, Bridget!
You are so cool, Peter. This was a great idea (and a nice way to do a #followfriday). Glad I made the pastors category and crazy-daily’s because that sounds on-the-nose.
Blessings and don’t worry about that accountability, we’re all here for each other.
Thanks, Jason.

Very cool, Peter! Thanks for including me among such amazing tweeps! I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving! Oh, love the new blog design!
Thanks, Chrystie.
Thanksgiving was great. I hope yours was too!
What about a group for those who don't bow to the Twitter?
And still, you persecute me. :
I KNEW you'd say something like that as I was writing it!
Twitter has a list function and FB doesn't. I don't know what to do for my friends who don't twitter!
Oh, come on Angela. All the cool kids are on the twitter. Don't be so stubborn.
So you don't have a list for those who haven't done lists yet? Or clueless people? Oh wait, those must be the crazies. Whew, glad I'm on a list! Proud to be a Crazy Daily.
I was definitely thinking of you when I named that list crazy-daily's!
BTW.. I have no idea what the point of lists is but it seemed a good way to recognize y'all and to do a #followfriday!
I love to be called a crazy person!!!
Thanks for including me, Peter. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

You're welcome, Brenda.
I'm glad you're one of my crazy twitter friends!
