A thank you blog

Today is September 9, 2010, it is 9:16 am, and according to Ralph Waldo Emerson, "This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it." Today, I happen to know what to do, and I want to tell Terry Stanfield thank you.

Dear Terry,

First of all, thank you for being a loyal, and my only, follower on this blog. I'm sorry I haven't been blogging on it routinely, but I've been busy writing.

I should have formally thanked you before now, but I wasn't sure of the best route to get a thank you message to you. I decided an email thank you would be too routine and impersonal, and I thought if I sent you a nice hand-written note you might think I don't need your services anymore, but I do, so I'm posting your thank you here!

I am grateful for the guidance you give me in marketing my book, Belle in the Slouch Hat, on the internet, and for teaching me about the unseen (and scary to me) world of the internet. I appreciate your skills, hard work, positive attitude, wonderful humor, professionalism, and friendship. And last, but not least, thank you for setting up this blog for me so I can write a thank you to you.
Mimi
