People who are grateful tend to be happier, healthier and more fulfilled. Being grateful can help people cope with stress and can even have a beneficial effect on heart rate. In tests, people who tried it each night for just one week were happier and less depressed one month, three months and six months later. ~ Thompson, Susan Peirce. Bright Line Eating (p. 179).

So, I’ve made a commitment
to a daily expression of gratitudes.
I’m glad we’ve done this blog,
Recovery Daily Dose, every single day
since May 4, 2011, three thousand
ninety-two days. because it’s helped us
whether anyone else has benefitted,
but also grateful for those of you
who faithfully read it daily.
And I’m grateful for the new routine
of noting gratitude begun today for the
joy it will bring me in thousands of days to come!
