Daily Gratitude

Research shows that people who keep a daily gratitude list feel better about their lives as a whole and feel more optimistic about the coming week. Compared to control groups, they exercise more frequently and report fewer physical complaints. They also experience more positive emotions, fewer negative emotions, and exhibit more helpful behavior towards friends and neighbors. (Emmons & McCullough, 2003) -- more...

What are you grateful for? Here's my list today. Feel free to add yours to the comments!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Life is AWESOME. Thank you for a GREAT sleep last night--EXACTLY what I intended when I went to bed. Thank you for getting the kids off too school without toooo much hassle. :o) Thank you for a great bike ride...it seemed like it went so quickly! Thank you for voice broadcasting. Woo hoo! This is AWESOME! Thank you for courage and clarity and fire and passion. Thank you for using me.

"And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more." (Doctrine and Covenants 78:19
