In celebration of Thanksgiving Day, allow me to pay a humble tribute to the Triond friends I have acquired over the four months that I’ve been here.

A few months ago, I stumbled upon Triond but was hesitant to join at first as I was already writing for Helium then. It took me about a month to finally register, and about another month to submit my first article, Filipino Workers Wanted Globally.

However, just like with Helium where I did not let my presence felt, I also never bothered at first about reading other articles on Triond or making friends with other users. It took a message from a fellow user for me to realize that Triond offers not just a wonderful opportunity of publishing my works but also of connecting with fellow writers and forming a network of supportive friends.

So, in celebration of Thanksgiving Day, allow me to pay a humble tribute to the Triond friends I have acquired over the 4 months that I’ve been here.

Thank you for finding me and for being my first ever friend on Triond. Your messages and comments have been highly appreciated.

The first ever hot user I made contact with who answered me and added herself as my fan, I was so flattered. I’m still very grateful for your encouraging comment on my daughter’s poem. Your comments have been truly valuable.

Michael Degenhardt

 

I always look forward to your heartfelt comments from the moment you took time to leave a feedback on my poem, The Essence of Life. I couldn’t find you at first as I was looking for mdegenhardt in my search. Thank you very much for continuing to read and comment on my pieces.

Your rhyming poetry has encouraged me to try this form myself. For your wonderful comments on my pieces both here and on AC, please accept my sincerest gratitude, my friend.

    Thank you, Mel. That kind praise meant so much that I kind of got a little choked up. Upon reading that there is one thing that i must say and that is that you are a well deserving person and you deserve every heartening comment that I give you. Your poetry is uniquely warm as always. God bless you, Mel.

  • CHAN LEE PENG on Nov 29, 2008

    Thanks for mentioning me here. As a friend, I’ll try to take out my busy time to read yours and also others. I’ll just leave comments for those who’re placed under my priority list. But I’ll still read others too, but without leaving comments.

    We need to support each other, right?

    Take care, my friend!

  • BC Doan on Nov 29, 2008

    Hi Melody, I am so sad I never saw this piece. Forgive me and thanks again for the support as I will always support you.

  • Budding Polymath on Jan 4, 2009

    Wow, I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now. Well, thanks for mentioning me, I appreciate it a lot. I hope this new year treats you well!

  • Joshua Miguel on Jan 10, 2009

  • CutestPrincess on Mar 6, 2009

    my gosh, im so late… i just found out this article today, thank you so much for mentioning my name!

  • jamesII on Apr 30, 2009

    I guess you had a great idea first! I can tell you are a very caring person who does not take anything for granted and one who pays attention to details and no matter is too small. With a heart like that–you are a poem! It is very comforting to learn that there are other kind people to look outward at others and away from themself. You are a wonderful find. I am suprised. The only reason I ever read you is because we both wrote on a related topic–you in an essay and me in a poem entitled “The Gems I Found!” Check It out when you find time. I will read more of you! Good, kind, and humanly considerate article. Thank You Cool!
