WE HERE @ THEGAYTEKEEPER WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WANDER THROUGH THIS BLOG & FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE HEART N’ SOUL WITH YOU AS WE CELEBRATE OUR 3rd ANNIVERSARY. I REMEMBER 3 YEARS AGO STARTING THIS BLOG BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO LOOSE MYSELF TO PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS AROUND ME. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU’VE ENJOYED WHAT YOU FOUND HERE & HERE’S TO ANOTHER YEAR OF GIVING EVEN MORE AS I SHOW THE INTERPRETATIONS OF SHADOW & LIGHT CAPTURED IN HUMAN FORM…
I heard a horn blew
And I knew that,
The world needed men…
Who cannot be bought;
Whose word is their bond;
Who put character above wealth;
Who possess opinions and a strong will;
Who are larger than their vocations;
Who do not hesitate to take risks;
Who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
Who will be as honest in small affairs as in greater;
Who will make no compromise with wrong;
Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
Who will not say they do it "because everybody else does it";
Who are true to their friends through good and bad, in adversity as well as in prosperity;
Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success;
Who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular;
Who can say "no" with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says "yes"

Liking the new look - your Top Commentators is messed up though. Make sure you put your blog url into the box when adding the widget. I've made that mistake too when doing refurbs, the results of which are apparent at the bottom of you page!
