Gushing with Gratitude

**UPDATED**

To catch up on how this whole thing got started, click here. To participate, follow instructions below. Thanks for joining in!

To add the Gushing with Gratitude image into your own blog at the top of your gushing entry, copy the HTML below and paste it in your blog's post editing window or "Misc Text" box. You'll want to be sure you're posting this code in the "Edit HTML" view rather than the "Compose" or "Visual" view of your editor.

It should look like this (it will actually be a link to all of the gushing posts here!):

Then, copy the following code and paste it at the top of your Gushing with Gratitude entry in order to explain the concept to your readers and provide a link to other Gushing posts on LifeDelicious.net.

**END UPDATE**


Okay, so this week, I was going to give you everything you need to join me in a weekly gush session.

First, there's this lovely gushing button:


BUT, it's not a button yet, per se. Just a pretty little picture with calming blue tones and flowers to make you think of Spring, because that's what I'm grateful for. So we'll get to that. For now, you can always copy and paste that image to the top of your blog entry, but it won't take your readers anywhere spectacular yet.

Second, there's this quick little explanation of things to put at the beginning of your entry:

Eventually, you should be able to just copy and past the above text (with links!) into the HTML format on your blog at the beginning of your entry, and then write your own gushing post. So far, I haven't figured out how to make it so that you can copy and paste without setting up the links on my own site...bluh.

Then, don't forget to leave a link to your post in my comments this week to share with others. Still no Mister Linky. I'm hoping to get him up and running when the button is set. There's been a lot going on around here at Chez Deliciousness this week, and for now, this will have to do.

So, huh. I guess really nothing is done yet. I bet you wonder what I do all day.

BUT...I hope you'll consider participating with me this week, and thanks to the people who did last week...I loved reading all of them, and hope you'll consider sharing your links!

Okay. So. On with it, eh?

This week is one of those where I really need this exercise to keep me grounded...

1. I am so thankful that my husband has a job. It pays money. We can eat. 'Nough said.

2. Ooh, how nice it was to share a day with some of our very best friends...you know who you are, and we wish you were here.

3. That moment when Hailey dropped all that she was doing to walk over and give me a kiss.

4. Keelyn's natural weaning process. It's best that it's easy, even though it makes me miss her.

5. The five gazillion, three-hundred and forty-two million wagon rides we took last week, and the two happy kids bumping along together.
