Gratitude and the New Year

Perhaps inspired by our Christmas Eve dinner with our wonderful friends Don and Mary Jane (M.J. is the author of the amazing Attitudes of Gratitude, among many, many other fabulous books) my husband decided to write a list of all the things he was most grateful for over the past decade.

I was telling this to my 14-year-old daughter as we were driving in the car today.

"And guess what was number one on his list?" I said. "Dog!"

"Well," she deadpanned. "I hope you were at least number two."

Happy New Year and wishing you lots to be grateful for in 2010!
