My Two Favorite Words

Thank You

Today’s commentary is a simple one.  Thank you to everyone for the well wishes, compliments, and overall good words regarding the official launch on Amazon of my first book: The View From A Different Angle.  When I started writing the Thought of the Day on October 30, 2008 and sent one out to 12 people, a book was the furthest thing from my mind.  I was just writing and sharing with the people close to me.  Fast forward some 23 months to the day, and 600+ pages later and we’re still going.

I received an email from my blog site a while back with the following comment: “what makes you think people want to read what you have to say?”  My response: “I never started writing with the idea of people wanting to read what I have to say. I started writing for me as another form of therapy and growth.  Some people read what I was writing and asked to be included.”

The View From A Different Angle is combination of what I have learned along with inspiration from everyone in the group and in my life.  I consider the book a group effort. I just happened to be the one typing it.  Thank you to everyone in my life for being a part of my growth process.

For those asking how it all started, here is the first “TOD” from October 30, 2008.

Thought of the Day – Two Fer Thursday

I couldn't decide on one so you get two for the price of one today :)  Both are from Joel Osteen.

Thought One:

"Sometimes our plans may be interrupted because God has somebody He wants us to touch or something special he wants us to do. Many times we don't even realize such behind the scenes events are happening, but God is using us.

Thought Two:

Your words have the power to put a spring in somebody's step, to lift somebody out of defeat and discouragement, and help propel them to victory.

  

Thought of the Day Action Item: 

You may be the only Jesus some people ever see.  Be kind to everyone you meet.
