simple concept. (borrowed the idea from "Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude" by Sarah Ban Breathnach (touching book).
List the 5 things/happenings that you are grateful for TODAY:
i guess i'll start
TODAY I AM GRATEFUL FOR/OF:
1) the woman that opened the subway door for me when it was going to close
2) the warm towels that my mom purposely put on the heater for me
3) the zit that healed from yesterday
4) the youtube user that uploaded yesterday's highkick episode
5) the buyer from half.com that bought a book from me and made me $20 richer
i thank you.
being thankful for the simpliest things will make you greater appreciate life and change your perception.

2. The day itself...cos I have so much work to do.
3. The weather, not too hot not too cold.
4. life itself cos often I think too negative.
5. for not waking up on the wrong side of bed!
