In October of 2012, I launched my gratefulsue.com website. It was so exciting for me to have an online platform for sharing my poems and plays. That was also the year my church produced a video of my Christmas play, Mystery - a man and more… and showed it in two Christmas programs in December of that year. I was elated! (See the Plays and Prose tab for more info.)

That 2012 version of the website worked for several years until the host announced new regulations which necessitated change. So, in May of 2021, I announced on my former website that I hoped to give gratefulsue.com a new look by the following month. It took longer. Change is hard! How do I do this? What if people don’t like the new design? Despite my worries, the transition did go through smoothly. The new design was lovely and more navigable. It was an improvement…for a while.

Unfortunately, that hosting service became difficult to work with. So, in January of 2022, there was another transition: changing the hosting service again, changing the design again and who would help me with website mechanics. Those changes were a huge improvement… more than I ever imagined! (I’m talking to you, Spencer!) Change can be good and healthy.

Of course, I’m not mentioning all the worries and fears I encounter on a regular basis in my personal life. Don’t we all face this? In honor of authenticity, and some serious worrying, I must admit, this poem is almost always relevant for me.
