Keep me posted on your gratitude exercise. i am looking for ways to keep mine mixed up so it does not just become a mundane habit without true feeling behind it.

Ah yes, the simple trick that I call the Pencil smiles. My d17 shared this with me back during my dark days and I posted bout it frequently with many others. She shared how a study of folks that used the pencil to make the smile found the cartoons they watched afterwards more funny than the other group who used the pencils under their noses the caused them to frown. Simple trick, but to this day, I will pull out a pencil, or just remember to put a smile on my face as I am walking along. It really does change ones mental attitude.

I appreciate your view of gratitude towards your W in spite of the challenge with the MR that you are finding yourself in the journey. Diamonds are really created out of great pressure, and you my friend are on your way to shining like a diamond.

May you enjoy some peace and joy this fine evening roist.
