You Guys are Famous! And Many Thanks!

A note from me (Mamma Joan) to you (Regular Reader):

I'm away teaching at at a writers' conference this week, and, for the first time in my speaking career, one of the workshops I'm leading is about blogging (What is it? Why bother?).

Of course, LabTails is my favorite of the blogs I maintain, so I used LabTails for many teaching examples, and that's largely because of you readers. What a warm, enthusiastic, caring bunch you are! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised since Labrador retrievers are warm, enthusiastic, and caring by nature. It only makes sense that their humans would be, too.

But you've taken the time to tell me. :o) And I don't think I've ever said "thank you."

Consider this your official note of appreciation then. I'm indebted to you all. But also know that I've been bragging about you. :o)

The aspiring writers and bloggers here are amazed that my little blog about life with our canine crew draws so many readers from so many parts of the world. And you know what? It encourages them! Good people do exist our there on the Internet, and they aren't always silent. It gives new bloggers hope that they, too, can experience uplifting community on this weird, wacky, and wonderful world-wide web.

So know that your engagement with little 'ol me and our critters at LabTails encourages those who attend my workshops (and those who listen to the workshop tapes).

But, even more, you encourage me (almost as much as my canine crew!).

"Thank you" doesn't do justice to how grateful I am for you. But it will have to do.

'Til next time,
Joan
