Introduction – I hope in reading My Gratitude Journal that you’ll be inspired to start thinking more about what you’re grateful for. It’s been eye-opening for me to see 365 days’ worth of gratitude. I thought that it would be very difficult to come up with something new for an entire year. But guess what? It really wasn’t! Sure there were days when I hit “Ctrl F” in Word and found that I had already mentioned something. In those instances, I just thought “OK, what else am I grateful for?” and, believe it or not, rather easily came up with something else. I would love if people reading this book were to become inspired to start their own Gratitude Project – documenting what they’re grateful for, every day for one year. My vision is to have a second book, which will be a collection of chapters – each from a different person who writes about how these 365 days of gratitude changed their life. Please let me know if you want to be a part of it! (I have given my contact information at the end of the book in the Epilogue.) 12/10/12 – I am grateful I met Jacqueline Wales back in October and I’m grateful that I became aware of her excellent book The Fearless Factor. Her book, its message and Jacqueline herself are all inspiring. I had her on my Live Your Best Life radio show tonight and I got a lot of great feedback from listeners – they felt like she was talking directly to them. That’s how powerful her book is. One of her messages is to write a gratitude journal. I've taken this idea and in turn, became motivated to write this book. I am grateful for this inspiration! I’m not sure what’s in store for me over the course of the next year but I’m excited to find out. I can’t wait to see how the book turns out – and what the feedback is - at the end of this journey. Throughout the book, I’m going to clearly articulate my lessons learned (so that you can easily see them and stop and think about them). Are you ready for the first lesson? Lesson #1: Frequently think about (and perhaps document) what you’re grateful for. As I learned in writing this book, it’s an amazing process in so many ways.
