This is going to be the first time i join Thankful Thursday.

I am thankful …

1. … that my family is in good health.
2. … for the blessings we have received
3. … for the tiny inconveniences we’re experiencing, for this makes us more patient and understanding.
4. … for the roof over our heads
5. … for the freedom given to us, enabling us to make our own decisions
6. I am also thankful that I found this group.

The customer doesn’t expect everything will go right all the time; the big test is what you do when things go wrong.

Thankful Thursday will be hosted today by Laurel Wreath.

Ever attached a file to an email, then while waiting for it to upload, suddenly it stops and says that the file is too large? Don’t you just hate that? It has happened to me lots of times already, that’s why sometimes I have had to resort to sending the large files one by one. A tedious job, isn’t it? You bet it is!

Good thing there’s this free online file sharing site called driveway. There’s no need to register, you can use it online right away. What’s quite neat about the site is the file-sharing 2 - Driveway widgets. You can edit the file online without having to download it; with just a few clicks, editing the online files is so easy and convenient. The maximum file size of sharing is 500MB. Using your gmail or yahoo email add, you can now send larger files the easier and convenient way! Try it!

We Could Learn

A big black dog and a Calico cat
Got into a fuss and a horrible spat
The cat m-e-o-w-e-d and hissed like that
Such a loud noise in no time flat.

The dog growled and barked so loud
This drew a large and applauding crowd
These animals created a huge dust cloud
Then the cat strutted on and so proud.

The big dog rolled its dark brown eyes
Then looked around with great surprise
The cat returned to hopefully win a prize
Somehow, that appeared to not be wise.

The crowd noticed and applauded again
The dog turned to see…and then ran
The dog and cat seemed to have a plan
They touched noses…more peaceful than man.

They lay near one another in total peace
If man would do likewise…wars would cease
Oh, that love of mankind would increase
Every life would receive a new lease.

Man could and should learn a lesson or two
If they would just be careful what they do
Arguments would then be slight and only a few
Peace must begin first with me…and you.

Voicing out personal opinions online is one of the reasons why a weblog is made. Nowadays, the weblog has been shortened to blog. Quite convenient, in my opinion.

I recently came across this interesting news blog where Gaurav Bhola also contributes. First, I was impressed by the blog’s lay-out, making it look like a no-nonsense business blog. So appropriate, since that is exactly what this site is all about ~ a news and business blog that delivers. The frankness and variety of the topics together with a witty humor here and there helps keep the site interesting; too bad some of the pages aren’t filled yet.

So the next time you decide to do some serious blog reading, don’t forget to check out Gimmie the Scoop; a news blog different from the rest since they aren’t the type to shy away from controversy … in fact, they encourage it! Now that’s blogging!
