It is very likely I hit a button thinking it would do one thing, and it did another. But, at least, it is up and running.

She insisted that it didn't count to just be grateful; you need to write it down. She wrote in a journal every night the 10 things for which she was grateful. Some days it's easy to find 10 things; most days it is a struggle to name 10 things for which we are grateful. But that is the whole point of the exercise--to be grateful for the little things each and every day as well as the obvious. And writing it down makes it real.<br /><br />Have a good 2011, Steve!Patyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414541075480808434noreply@blogger.com
