For those of you who aren't familiar with our :10 Things: blog, we'd like to fill you in on what 10 Things is all about.

The idea was born from nightly lists scribbled in a tiny journals. During a time of grave transition, each night we would force ourselves to find Ten Great Things About Today, to keep our spirits up and eyes on the prize. Eventually, after a few vodka martinis, it dawned on us that, gosh darn it, if we could look at things in a positive light why couldn't a few others?

Grouchy girls by nature, it's our manifesto to fill our glasses up halfway and find ten great things to write about regularly, especially in those moments of despondency when it's much easier to list 20 terrible things. We welcome all of you to join us. Like grandma's kitchen, come on in, stay a while, and invite in those you love.
