1,000,991 Pv's This Morning! Thank You All for Helping Me

I just wanted to say Yeah!! I reached my goal of 1,000,000 pvs by the end of 2010. I have over 1,000,991 pvs as of this morning! Thank you to all of my friends and fans for making this possible. I have never won an award here. I don't make big bucks, but I love to write. It is therapeutic for me and for many others too I believe. I know that I may disclose too much about my personal life but if it can help someone else that is all that matters to me.

I have received hateful comments on articles that I have written about me being a horrible mother. I have received vulgar comments on others. I have also received many kind and loving comments. I have received emails from some that have been struggling with things in their lives and they have said that my articles have helped them. Some have disclosed very personal battles that I hope I have helped them with.

As I sit here writing this article the snow is falling outside of my window. I am grateful that we have a warm house and a roof over our heads. We have food in our pantries and refrigerator and food in our bellies. At this point in our lives we are now able to help others as we have been helped in the past. Many in our country and world and especially in our area are still struggling horribly because of the recession. It is better for many but many remain jobless. Our church and our community are deluged with needs of other families in the area. I am grateful that we are healthy. I grieve for those who are sick and whom have sick children.

The money that I make at AC has helped me to help others. Granted I don't make a lot but it is nice to have some to be able to help others in my family and in my community. I am grateful to AC and to all of those who are my friends and fans. At this time of year especially I stop and take stock of what God has given me. I just wanted to tell you all of that and soon, well maybe not real soon, but before the end of the year I will send my annual Christmas card painting print out to you all. Love and my God bless you all. Shana
