The Beginning: My Inspiration for A Calendar of Gratitude

I must begin my Calendar of Gratitude by thanking the following:
1. http://www.stampington.com/ for the most fantastic magazine, Artful Blogging.
2. Kim Crane – http://www.thekathrynwheel.blogspot.com/ – for her article “The Accidental Challenge” featured in Artful Blogging.
3. Lori Portka –  http://loriportka.com/ – for her article “A Hundred Reasons to be Grateful” featured in Artful Blogging.
I was inspired by both Kim and Lori to create this blog. I thank both of them for sharing their passions. I thank the publishers at Artful Blogging for their wonderful magazine. I thank God for bringing Kim, Lori, and Artful Blogging to me and inspiring me to create “A Calendar of Gratitude.” Thank You!
