Thanks for Being Here in February

Now whatever T.S. Eliot may have to say on the subject, if you ask me, February is the cruelest month. With winter dragging on and spring still all too far off, with the days still too short and dark and with that horrid beast, Valentine's Day, sitting smack at the center, February gets to me every year. February is the month when the world is darkest: just before dawn.

Of course, there are some good things about February (other than it's mercifully shorter than other months) and this year, one of my favorites was (drumroll, please): you all were here to share it with me. So, here's my big thank you all for being here and (as always) a little linky love. You all made February brighter.
