It’s been an incredible day. After sorting through at least two dozen new wordpress themes, I finally found one I could customize to my liking. I am so very grateful that I’m at the point where I can start adding content to my new project blog. (If I get the first batch of content written tonight, I’ll let ya see it tomorrow!)

I’m also grateful for the cool, crisp fall air. It’s so much easier to breathe when it’s not so humid as it was in the summer.

I’m late posting for today because I was so focused on getting my first report finished that I lost track of time. So for today I am grateful that I had the focus and energy necessary to write a report and get it finished in one day. I’m also very grateful to my son for taking some seriously beautiful pictures on his 40k bike ride the other day. Here’s an example of his handiwork:

That’s it for me today. I need to get the rest of my report typed up before I call it a night here.

I’ve set myself a few 100 day challenges to finish out this year, and one of them is to keep a gratitude journal here on my blog. It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day crap and forget to be grateful, which is really sad because there is so much to be grateful for. Like today I am grateful for:

• My creativity because it lets me play and create cool images
• My dental benefits that allow me to have regular checkups and cleanings (guess where I was all morning)
• The bargain book rack at Zellers – I found a book there today that I’ve been needing for ages to finish out a series

What are you grateful for today?
