Year of Gratitude (YOG)
http://barbaraquinnyearofgratitude.blogspot.c…
Four women associated with The Rose & Thorn Literary e-zine are taking Fate into their own hands by declaring this year one of Health, Wealth & Happiness. Barbara Quinn, Nannette Croce, Kat Magendie, and Angie Ledbetter will be blogging their way through 2008, searching the corners of each day for something in which to be grateful. It’s their way of making the world a better place.
The Year of Gratitude writers extend an invitation to others who are tired of greeting each day with a head full of problems, sorrows, worries, and bad news. Join them vicariously through reading their blog entries, and by all means, PLEASE leave your comments!

Day After by Angie Ledbetter
It's the day after the Big Day. Christmas is over, and the only ones left with huge sacks to haul are the garbagemen coming to take away the trashed remnants. Out go the pretty wrapping all scrunched up; the torn boxes, ripped open in excitement; the...
