Happy New Year!

I know that there’s a ton of focus right now on New Year’s Resolutions, but I want to throw a curveball.  Rather than focus on what we don’t have, let’s focus on all the good that we have in our lives.  No matter what’s going on in our lives at any given moment, we have something for which to be grateful.  Even on awful days, we have the ability to be grateful that, at the end of the day, that day is over and we get to put it behind us.

I challenge you, then, to join me in writing a gratitude journal.  Each night before you go to sleep, write down five things for which you are grateful.  I’ll start:

1. My health.
2. My husband.
3. My kid.
4. My cats and dog.
5. My safe and warm home.

What about you, Dear Reader?  Tell me in the comments.
