Not at the same time, of course, as that'd be all kinds of nasty). You know, a thought that's like a big ole slap in the face and think to yourself: OMG, that's, like, a decent idea! I might actually be able to do this! Well, that's pretty much how the idea of creating a Gallery of Gratitude came to me. This…
