Grateful Gourd 2010 (and a 2009 sampling)

Yes it is 2011 and I'm just getting around to documenting the 2010 Grateful Gourd slips...yet since it is my blog I am taking editor's authority and giving myself the green light this time around. For those of you that are asking themselves: What is the Grateful Gourd? I'll explain quickly. Three years ago HM gave MPR and I a green ceramic gourd at the beginning of November and encourages us to record on little slips of paper each day those things we are grateful for. When splitting up assets with MPR, I was the lucky winner of the GG.

Turns out I didn't blog 2009's GG slips so we'll go in order.

2011 will hopefully be documented in the same calendar year. Everyone should have a GG, in my authoritative opinion.

PS: Did I mention where I store past year's GG slips? The Dr Pepper vintage lunch-box, obviously!
