I am Thankful for this Exercise in Thankfulness

I recognize I am very early into a year-long project, but I need to state that this practice of writing something everyday has so far been a very positive experience. I have found myself reflecting throughout the day on things I should write about. (Three hundred and sixty-five is a daunting number and so I plan ahead.) In the process some thoughts of annoying situations have diminish, putting them in a more proper perspective. I am a happier person (OK, I know that is relative, I say in my most Eeyore voice.) I have also found the process has refreshed my memories. Things I once rejoiced greatly over are being renewed; I’m taking them less for granted. In short the discipline of being thankful is making me more thankful. Thanks be to God.

Maybe this will prove itself mood altering enough you will find yourself using exclammation points.
