The new year has begun, and depending on your point of view we are either spiraling towards the end of life as we know it, as heralded by the Mayan civilization, or simply starting another 365 day cycle on the endless bike path of the universe. Either way, I want this year to be different. 2011 was a terrible year all around for me, marked by failure and frustration in business and personal ventures, and I desperately need to wipe that slate clean. Today, my friend Amy turned me on to the concept of a Gratitude Journal, focusing on the things you are thankful for each day. My idea is that as you give thanks for what you have, you are brought more and more to be thankful for. So I have decided to focus on the positive in my life by giving thanks each day. I'm posting Facebook for family and friends but I decided to also post in this blog so people I don't know may find it. As the year progresses, I'll post thoughts on how this exercise is affecting my life and outlook. So -
A year of gratitude - Day 1 - I am thankful to have friends who will debate with me one moment and introduce me to the concept of The Gratitude Journal the next. And will still love me whether I make it to Day 365 or just Day 3. :)
