Stumbling Onto Gratitude
Apparently, I don’t follow my own advice. After grumbling about the importance of planning well for holidays and weekends, this one crept on me. I had pockets of pity time where I imagined everyone hanging out with loved ones, except for me. Hate that! What a delight to come across Leah Dieterich’s blog, thxthxthx, in which she posts a thank you note a day. It brightened my mood.

Thank YOU for posting this. I’m three weeks into getting over a difficult break-up, and felt completely isolated this weekend too – everyone I knew was grilling out or traveling with their kids or significant others. I love your blog – really brightened my mood too.
There’s something about summer holidays that makes it even harder. And yes, I’m always imagining them grilling, too! Or, at frolicking at some body of water.
