Gratitude

With all of the things doing on now days that we continuously hear on the news, nothing really seems to be positive. The economy is unstable, recession, depression, crime, unemployment it is really a challenge to look for the silver lining in any of this. Recently I started writing 100 things that I am grateful for everyday. The first day I realized that my thinking had me focused on what was wrong rather than what I have... it was quite a challenge to think of 100 things but when I finished, I felt lighter and happier. I have been doing this for a week now and I notice that my perspective has become much more optimistic. Try it ... I highly recommend it!
