I read this quote in a column in the newspaper and it was mildly inspirational:
"To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch heaven."-Johannes A. Gaertner
Couple that quotation with this other one from the same columnist about keeping a journal of gratitude: "If you give thanks for five gifts every day, in two months you may not look at your life in the same way as you might now." -Sarah Ban Breathnach
So I like that idea, so for the next two months I am going to try giving thanks for five gifts everyday. Maybe that will cheer this winter slump that I am in.
Gifts that I am thankful for today:
1. Coren (the mother of a deceased friend who in the wake of Jenn's death I have gotten to know and love)
2. Quirky coworkers
3. Flannel sheets and down comforter for chilly weather
4. My daddy for picking me fresh oranges before I left Florida
5. Mr. Jackson, the security guard that holds an elevator for me every morning
