Gratitude Sunday 80

I’m back with the Gratitude Sunday series with much to report for this week.

Quotes on Gratitude

“There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” — Aldous Huxley

“To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that’s enough for one man’s life.” — T.S. Eliot

“The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.” — Emily Dickenson

Gratitude list for the week ending May 5

MY NEW WEBSITE AND BLOG IS LIVE! I’ve been working on it for more than three months, and it was a major goal for 2012 that I can now check off my list.
Graphic designer Kristy Lehman, who helped me create the anchor image for the site with extremely short notice, and to my friend Beth Thaler for referring her.
I figured out how to create mailing lists, so that I could start sending a monthly newsletter – another 2012 goal.
WordPress plugins. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways – contact forms, Facebook share, Follow widgets, and on and on…
My family, for putting up with my constant working and obsessing this week and giving me the time I needed.
All of my wonderful 12 x 12 in 2012 participants! They come to my aid when I’m struggling and become an instant cheering section when I have good news. When I called for 12 x 12 testimonials, I got 35 back in less than two hours! They have been patient and helpful as I’ve worked out the kinks in the new website. Thank you!
The many friends (both real life and online) and family who, upon hearing I was going through a rough time, reached out and offered comfort, support and assistance.
Getting my March manuscript revised
The fantastic volunteers at my kids’ school who put on the Jogathon event and the Running Club.
Champagne and cupcakes to celebrate the website launch
