Ok, I have to be realistic here. When I haven't been posting daily on my blog for months and months, posting a gratitude challenge every day was probably unrealistic of me. Instead, I will pick and choose from the list and try to post at least 2-3 gratitude posts a ...

In some ways, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger of two kids just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance. But, I'm also a career writer who has just returned to fulltime work in the software industry, I'm a wife going through a divorce after almost 20 years of marriage, and I'm discovering that life is full of surprises.
