Hey DrawTogether Grown-Ups Table peeps.

Well, there’s a first for everything. Today as I was pressing publish on Day 1 of our Week of Drawing Gratitude, some kind of a tech glitch obliterated the entire dispatch. Lesson, research, assignment, hand lettering, art, all of it. ARGHHHHHH!!!!

Deep breath, wendy.

As you can imagine I’m a weeeee bit frustrated and trying best I can to cultivate some gratitude around this glitch. (I still have my health? I can breathe! This is an opportunity to write it even better a second time? Grateful for all the times the GUT has gone out Glitch free? Sure. But also, ARGGGGHHHHHHH.)

Another deep breath.

Each dispatch usually takes at least a full day to write. This one took two. And this afternoon I’m spending time with my parents. So a heads up: Day 1 of our Week of Drawing Gratitude won’t arrive until tonight (PST). And it might be a little truncated. But thank you for your patience, and we’ll make it all up over the course of the week.

Meanwhile, let’s do a mini-kick off by writing ONE THING WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR in the comments below. I’ll start.
