The "Attitude of Gratitude"
Blue skies and climbing temperatures do a great deal to lift one’s spirits. Having been in a bit of a funk lately, I welcome the longer days and spring blossoms. I want to “snap out of it,” as my mom would so aptly tell me to do when I’m feeling blah.
So when I recently read about the “attitude of gratitude” one man adopted rather than to dwell on his true misfortune (versus my simple bad mood), I took note. His antidote to himself was writing a daily thank you note – to anyone from business acquaintances to family members to relative strangers. John Kralik wrote about this exercise and what he learned from it in the book 365 Thank Yous.
