What are you feeling grateful for today? Me, I’m appreciating eyes that can take in the rolling turquoise sea outside my windows, sparkling in the morning sun … energy that jiggles my feet as if to remind me, “The gym closes at noon on Sundays, so better get going.” A belly that agrees as it seems to gurgle, “What was with all that brie last night?!?”  I am grateful for the sweet six-pound Papillon who sits on her pretty little embroidered pillow at my feet, always exceptionally willing to go for a stroll with me. Most of all I am grateful to have the sort of heart I write about in card 93422, “May your heart still stir – at all life’s possibilities!”  How about you?

I’m so glad Cardthartic’s new site is finally live.  That said, I’m bummed that there are many many bugs still to exterminate.   Consequently, at a time when I “should” feel so pleased and proud, there’s this other ugly sense that if I were only a better project manager, more focused, had any sense of priorities fergawdsake, we’d have had this new site ~ with literally hundreds of new designs for our visitors ~ up years ago!   I’d love to hear how other people manage to let themselves feel proud ~ simply proud ~ without getting bummed because of all the flaws …
