“GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feat, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
- Melanie Beattie

Hi
thank you for the invitation to read your blog. I love your list.
Well done you. How’s the photography going?
Although this winter has been rather mild, the drastic changes in temperature here has made everything rather icy. Maybe I will break out my camera soon though. The sidewalks are starting to be cement again… It was something that made me feel good.
Hello!
Thanks! It is really my pleasure that you are here! Um… Photography is not so fun when it is -30 out and walking is a health risk!

I’m grateful for S. who used my list as an inspiration for this page. xo
And for your comment reply style! I just don’t want to be my top comment-er! ox
My gratitude list goes on forever – but I’m grateful to be alive. How doe you set up his clever comment reply style? I, too, am fed up of being my main commenter
Hi Cat,
To reply with bolded type you go to ‘manage comments’ in your dashboard and locate the comment you want to reply to. At the bottom of the comment there will be a list of things you can do for the comment, like reply, approve ect. Choose ‘Edit’ then type away at the bottom. To make the text bold (Although I am sure you know this little tip) highlight your response and press ctrl and B or choose the bold icon from the editor.
I hope this helps! I stopped replying to my comments this way because it is more time consuming than pressing reply on the dropdown comments.
I hope you are keeping cool if your weather is anything like our unseasonally warm temps of +40′C!
Best,
xo – S.
