A few months ago I suggested we declare 2009 The Year of Gratitude. In an effort to follow my own suggestion, I have come up with 100 things (in no particular order) that I am grateful for.
Every time you fall into feelings of lack or fear, (which is easy to do these days) I encourage you to create a gratitude list to help return you to a sense of power and possibility.
Please feel free to add the things you’re grateful at the comment section at the bottom of the post.
