Gratitude Day 69 - Blogger

Dear Friends,
It certainly takes a whole bunch of people to raise Lili!
Thanks to a wonderful, young student-teacher in our school, I finally have my blog! However, it's still empty!
According to these little sentences that pop up every so often on my screen, my "browser" was not supportive, (who is Browser?) So, I went to my son's place. Thanks to him and his computer, whose browser seems to be in good health, I managed to transfer 35 old postings into my "draft" box. I was up till 1 am! so I'm sure you can appreciate why I do not have a "fancy" gratitude posting lined up for you this morning! Just a good old fashioned THANK YOU (a huge one, though) to all of you for supporting, encouraging and helping me to get where I was last night! (I feel like an Academy Award winner! So many people to be grateful to!)
Way in November, one colleague planted the seed in my head, many of you cheered me on, then came along another colleague who suggested I publish the postings. You continued cheering me on! The final push came yesterday, from yet another colleague, right after the fire drill. Later, I went to ask a friend for help, and there she was - my angel, the student-teacher who offered to help me. It was a sign, I had to accept! She gave up her lunch hour, I became a blogger!
Stay tuned for new developments! After all, you brought me so far, I'm counting on you to take me farther!
Have a fully developed day everyone!

  1. It's too bad I can't retrieve yesterday's comment, my friend, but the long and short of it is that I think you're wonderful for pursuing this passion. We all get so stuck in our little comfort boxes that we rarely step out over the line. It's unfortunate because it's when we colour outside the lines that real personal growth occurs. I think this blog will be a huge success because it will speak to so many people - people who need to be reminded daily that gratitude is the way to go - even when so much goes awry in our world. I am SO grateful for you for doing this Lili. You help recenter me and cause me to consider how incredibly lucky I am just to wake up every morning to a new day that holds limitless promise of connection and love. Bonne chance and I'll be checking in regularly!
