When You Don’t Feel Grateful, Read This

Dear Gratitude,

I owe you an apology. I haven’t fully appreciated our relationship. When I started keeping a gratitude journal at Oprah’s prompting in the late 90’s, I didn’t realize that this was only a small piece of the whole you.

Like asking someone to dinner and then dominating the conversation, I have missed the best of you because I just kept TALKING. Filling my journals (in a very on again / off again way) with all of the little things I’m grateful for each day.
