I learned about the Gratitude Journal aeons ago while watching Oprah.
It is similar to keeping a diary. But instead of writing about the jitters one feel when seeing a gorgeous guy / girl, you write about those that you are most grateful for daily.
I remember keeping one, but for some reason, I discontinued taking note of things I am thankful for.
Maybe, I got caught up in things that make people angry and disappointed. I must have gotten jaded in this big and crazy world. Or maybe, just maybe, I just plain forgot to say Thank You.
For the past couple of days though, I have seen acts of kindness directed towards me that were unexpected. Pleasant surprises that gave me the conviction to start saying thanks again.
First of all, I have only known them for three months. Yet, their compassion and willingness mirror that of friends you’ve had for so long you can’t remember when it started. So to you Ram and Katrina, my heartfelt gratitude. You made me remember that in the midst of this cynical world, there are still people who care.
