Thankful Thursday Resurrected

I started celebrating "Thankful Thursdays" here on the blog very early on. Here's one from June of 2011.  Another from April 2011. February 2011. And before it was "Thankful Thursdays" - it was Gratitude Monday. Back in February of 2009, this project started as a Valentine's Day gratitude list. 

(Sidebar: Apparently my platelets were just as weird in 2010.) 

(Sidebar #2: I have become obsessed with the poet Mary Oliver over the past year. Apparently, I already knew she was awesome in 2009. How did I forget?)

It's time to resurrect this weekly honoring of good things in our lives. Many of you have daily or weekly gratitude practices. Awesome! Keep it up!

Here on the bloggy, we used to share our lists with one another, everyone leaving a comment. Let's do it again, friends. I know it's not as cool to leave "comments" on blogs as it once was, but let's go for it! I love reading your lists.
