Time to take a short breather from my Tangling from A to Z project (which I’ve been greatly enjoying, and I hope you have as well!) to stop and focus on gratitude. In my part of the world the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the temperature is definitely in a Spring-like zone… gratitude certainly [continue reading…]
March is wrapping up… yes, already! It’s been another fun and busy month of daily creativity as I participated in both the Photo A Day Challenge and NaBloPoMo… but believe it or not, April promises to be even more so, because starting tomorrow and carrying on throughout the rest [continue reading…]
YOU are on my gratitude list every day, but today you’re featured in the top spot… because if it wasn’t for YOU, I would never have bothered with a blog and would have instead kept my writing to myself.

So just for fun – even though I know it might inspire you to exclaim incredulously, [continue reading…]

The first item on today’s gratitude list is a rather silly one, I’ll admit – but I’m going to share it anyway. I’m grateful that I was able to leave the house yesterday in my Converse – instead of boots – for the first time in, quite literally, MONTHS!
