WLG Update In the Form of a Gratitude List

Gratitude
  1. I’m grateful for all the incredible grateful writers who keep this site buzzing with appreciation and gratitude
  2. And for Google’s Feedburner technology, which allowed us to do easy email signups for almost 10 years
  3. I’m grateful that I received early notice that it would be discontinued- so I could switch things over to another service
  4. You can now signup in the sidebar- and receive a daily email if new lists have been posted
  5. I’m grateful that Google made it very easy to switch and bring along everyone who’s already signed up
  6. And looking through the names was a trip down memory lane
  7. All the support and love this site has received from the beginning
  8. The beautiful gratitude that overflows on this earth today
  9. Remembering my first gratitude lists, that were “good lists,” that started to change my life, way back then
  10. Perhaps it’s time to start posting them here again, amongst the luminous writers and grateful souls that inspire me daily.
