Hello hello!
I might not have seen you on the weekend for a while. On Tuesday I issued an invitation for all the lovely grateful gals of old to come back for a very special link-up. I hope someone comes. What if no one comes?
I think it would be at least as bad a feeling as the time no one bought my cake pops. And that was pretty darn low.
Anyway, I’m going to assume that at least someone got the invite and will be linking up over at Kidspot with us all today. So, this week I’m grateful for…
257. Reunions – long may we renu!
258. Grateful linkys – So many weeks I just want to not have to be grateful, you know? I think ‘I’ve had a crappy little week and I just want to wallow in that’. But (mostly thanks to Kidspot making me do it! Ha!), I can’t. And you know what… it helps, it really does. Call it light-weight psychology, but I reckon making yourself be grateful works just as well as spontaneously feeling it. Maybe it even works better. And visiting other people’s gratefuls is a guaranteed way to make me feel good about the world.
259. Giveaways – call it a sponsored post (thanks to the people who took time out of their busy day to send me an email calling me a hypocrite – love your work and attention to detail) or not. I call it having an Oprah moment with a really cool shop that I want to tell people about. So, I’m having a giveway and I’m grateful for that.

bahaha! you know I am a grateful enthusiast even if I’ve been a slacker of late! And I really can’t believe people really care about the difference between sponsored post and giveaway…coz like you said…it’s one awesome shop! Now…are we dancing on the table at this reunion yet??

You are so right.. you know I struggle some weeks, I know you know but there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for even if it is just that chocolate exists and its great you make me find something…I am grateful for that xx
Kelly @ Polkadot Lane says
So good to link up again. I’ve been super slack with my grateful posts but it is good to sit and think about, and blog about – to appreciate all that’s good in life, and there is a lot to be grateful for. Thanks for the inspiration!

I”m grateful to have you here to remind me there is always something grateful in my life. Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve joined. xx

‘Grateful’ was the first linky I stumbled across, and my first real glimpse at the interaction between bloggers in this growing community. It’s the linky that I try my utmost to join in every week, it simply reminds me that I can always find something to be grateful for. I just have to look.
It’s lovely to see so many ppl appreciate it, and you for being the host. š

I’ve only started up recently and have been intermittent, I’ve been thinking of gratefuls but haven’t actually blogged them all. I do visit those that blog their gratefuls though.
I love your giveaway! I think if you’re not going to do regular giveaways then it’s great to make the ones you do just fabulous!
