With this post, I am blowing dust off of my personal blog. Perhaps this is getting a head start on New Year's resolutions? This post also
heeds the advice of several of my favorite blogs.
Penelope Trunk,
Bryan Caplan, and
Gretchen Rubin cite
research that a
gratitude journal can help you be happier. I can certainly use reminders of the blessings and good things in my life, so I'm going to give it a try.
Gratitude Journal - what I'm grateful for today:
- Getting out ahead of the storm.
- Snow.
- Staying in the same hotel as my conference. I can enjoy the power and beauty of a winter storm from the comfort of my hotel room.
- The generosity of colleagues. John and I have good company for a long drive.
- How easy it is to read good, interesting ideas. It's inspired me to write this post.
I'll post my journal here when possible (and appropriate). I encourage you to do the same in the comments. You can also start one and share links in the comments. Let's do this together.
