Thankful project? It’s not Thanksgiving yet. I know, but I was inspired by a recent blog post. I was reading a post about a particular online celebrity who leads a very busy life and gives a lot back to the community. The article mentioned how people often ask for a lot from celebrities without giving back. I think that comes with the territory of being really good at what you do.

The post got me thinking about whether I thank people just because I want something from them or because I’m genuinely thankful. I know too often it’s probably the first one, but that’s not my intention. I often think about how thankful I am for things that people do either directly for me or for a community, but then life gets busy and I forget to tell them. I don’t want to forget anymore, so I’m starting my thankful project.

I am not going to write a blog post or tweet about it. I’m just going to send an email, snail mail card or do something to show someone that I’m thankful for all they do. I’m doing it solely for the purpose of thanking them and not because I want any recognition or retweets or links, which is why I won’t be advertising who I’m thanking. I am just going to thank someone on a regular basis.

Join me each week in thanking someone in your life. Think of this as a weekly gratitude journal. I will tweet out a few reminders each week.

Let me know in the comments if you’ll be joining me each week.

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

It's amusing you should write about this as I was just thinking about the idea the other day. You've stated my own ideas exactly.

I have never seen such impressive ideas presented in writing. Your writer has a very unique way of presenting information in such a way as to catch the reader’s attention.

You've got a bit of a tough one there. Pandas, like other bears, humans and raccoons are "plantigrade" animals. That means they walk on their entire foot, from heel to toe. A cheetah walks on just the ball of its foot (tip toes is you will) like other cats. To morph the 2 footprints together you are going to have to decide how your new creature will walk. If you go to the San Diego Zoo link below you can see a footprint of a Giant Panda and one of a Jaguar (close to, albiet larger, than a Cheetah's print).. This sounds like an exciting project. Have fun with it, but try and keep in mind the different diets and habitats of your animals.. If you want a good overview of both Pandas and Cheetahs, you can find interesting facts about them at The Jungle Store Animal Fact pages.

Howdy! Is it alright that I go a bit off subject? I’m making an attempt to see your post on my ipad but it doesn’t display correctly, do you have any suggestions? Thanks. My best regards, Terry.

Google's recent change to its search algorithm has dramatically shaken up the businesses of websites that moved up or down its search rankings. Sites whose rankings rose to the top found that their traffic and revenue soared -- but the adjustment had an equally devastating effect on those that were dropped.The reason behind the drop in positions of some websites is hidden in their total website structure,not only the backlink structure,but also the content of the website,the placing of ads,etc.Now,it is more than ever important to include high quality,original content in your websites.With that said,the game is getting tougher and tougher and few will survive to rank their websites for the competitive terms they are after.Use high quality original content,high quality link wheel/pyramid structures and quality backlinks for your site in order outrank your competitors.

I and my friends were examining the great tips found on your web site while the sudden came up with an awful feeling I had not expressed respect to the web blog owner for those techniques. The guys were definitely absolutely happy to see all of them and already have surely been using those things. Appreciate your simply being so considerate and then for considering this sort of very good themes millions of individuals are really wanting to understand about. Our own sincere apologies for not expressing gratitude to you sooner.

Hi Michele -

Great idea! I hope you are liking it! I have been keeping a Gratitude Journal for years and it is the perfect pick-me-up when I am having a hard time! I just open it up and look at all the things I am grateful for.

Be Well.
Paul.
